Saturnalia

Perhaps the most interesting things about Saturnalia did not involve their actual music. Their rare 1969 album was produced by Keith Relf shortly after he had left the Yardbirds; it was also one of the first rock LPs issued as a picture disc. Perhaps reflecting Relf's own vision in early Renaissance, the music was early progressive rock with a serious classical-influenced tone combining male and female lead vocals, though with less distinction than Renaissance did either when Relf was in the band or in their more internationally successful 1970s work.
