THANKS AMAZON!!!!! I have been looking for this on CD forever, and it is very difficult to find.

I have read other reviews stating that "Saga becomes headless", etc. Believe me, this is among their best. Of all the Saga recordings I have heard (which is most of them) this one ranks just below Generation 13 as their best, and just above the popular World's Apart recording.

The Saga camp appears to be evenly divided between those who like the poppier sound of World's Apart, and the more progressive sound of Generation 13. Heads or Tails, to me, is the perfect balance between the two. Excellent guitar and keyboard work propel this CD through songs like Catwalk and Flyer, while songs like The Sound Of Strangers and Scratching The Surface show the band's broadening pop songwriting. Pitchman is an incredible display of musicianship by all of the members.

My only problem with this recording is the mix itself. It sounds a little sterile and dated (80's sounding). There is just not a lot of depth to the mix.

I would recommend this to Saga fans, but first-timers may wish to look toward one of the above mentioned CDs, or a compilation.

The Flyer is the best song on this CD! A great band in concert, too. Check them out, and play it loud! You will not be disappointed!
