Starcastle - Citadel

A while back on a SAGA page someone posted a picture of a ticket stub with the name Starcastle crossed out, and SAGA written in pen. I don't know why this stuck in my memory, but it did. One day I was looking through the clearance section at an old video store that had recently added a record section and I found a couple cool looking albums. Among them was this Starcastle album featuring a great cover (with the Hildebrandt signature I'm going to assume this was done by the brothers. I'll look it up later*) right off a pulpy science fiction paperback. There was Roy Thomas Baker's name in the production credits, so if nothing else there was some muscle behind it and someone at Epic believed in the band.  The back cover shows six rather dashing and very serious looking fellows, two of whom had fine moustaches, and the guy in the back row far left could have been the inspiration for Michael Sadler's (lead singer from SAGA) epic 'stache from the '70s...
