ARJEN ANTHONY LUCASSEN: Strange Hobby re-release

[KingsGene]

ARJEN ANTHONY LUCASSEN RE-RELEASES RARE OUT OF PRINT STRANGE HOBBY ALBUM

"...Strange Hobby was previously released in 1996 without saying who the artist was. It can now be announced it was legendary Dutch prog artist Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen is the progressive metal/rock songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer, best known for his long-running progressive opera project, Ayreon.

Strange Hobby has been out of print for over a decade and is now a much sought after collectors item. This edition includes four bonus tracks which have not been available on CD previously...."

Not cheap. Anyone heard it? Is the material worth the price tag?

It's all covers, so nothing original unless you just like Arjen's interpretation of the covers. I don't know what the bonus songs are, but I can't say that I listened to it much.

I wish I had known it was a sought after collectible though. My copy went with about 1000 other CDs to a veterans charity.
