For over thirty-five years, SAGA has led the way in music innovation and audience interaction. Throughout this time the band has released 21 studio recorded CD’s under the umbrella of major record companies and have filmed over 20 music video’s in which MTV had the band on heavy rotation: the first ever digital live recording by a rock group, an enhanced and interactive CD ROM digital retrospective of their music catalogue, and an electronic concert ticket card with audio and visual elements for the fans to keep – all designed to engage people in new and exciting ways.
Saga have sold 10 million albums, and performed in over twenty countries to over fifteen million people. Their first album was released in 1978. The release was marked by a fortunate twist of fate – a leading Toronto record outlet exported a number of Canadian records to Germany. Within a few short weeks the album had sold 50,000 copies as an import.
