Illusion (Renaissance album)

Illusion is the second studio album by the English progressive rock band Renaissance, released in 1971. A series of lineup changes began during the recording sessions, leading to Illusion being the final Renaissance album by the original lineup, and ultimately to a completely different lineup emerging by the time of their next album, Prologue. However, the original lineup later reunited and recorded a series of albums under the band name Illusion. Illusion was originally released only in Germany and did not receive a wider release until 1973. It was first released in the UK in 1977, with a cover that had the original front and rear cover artwork swapped.
