Worlds Apart was my introduction to Saga, and I'd guess it was many American's first exposure to this fine band. I have so many fond memories of this album. I would go so far as to say that it defines the fall of 1982 for me, the first semester of my senior year in high school. Saga perfectly captured the era in which it lived. It's punchy and catchy, and the production and sound textures are early 80s all the way. Meanwhile they added just enough prog to keep it interesting for deep dive listeners like myself. I dubbed my LP copy onto cassette and used to play it in the car all the time - turned on many friends to Saga back in those days. I wonder if they remember that as well? Seriously doubt it. To reminisce on the car driving aspect, I listened to the CD around town while running errands (2022). Good times.
Ownership: LP: 1981 Maze. Single sleeve. Online acquisition (2015). I thought it would be fun to own a Canadian original. It's not expensive, and so why not.
