This was the album that took Pendragon into greater popularity in 1996. The Masquerade Overture went on to sell over 90,000 copies and has become one of the benchmarks for Prog Rock. The album was initially released as a Special Edition 2 cd set with extra tracks Schizo and King Of The Castle. These two fan favourite tracks have not been available since 1997, so this is the first opportunity since then for Pendragon fans to get hold of these extra songs in one amazing gatefold double vinyl package, all fully colour illustrated by the amazing Simon Williams.
