Third Stage is the third album by hard rock band Boston released in October 1986 on MCA Records. The album was recorded at Tom Scholz' Hideaway Studio over a three-year period "between floods and power failures".
After winning a legal battle with CBS, Tom Scholz switched their recording label to MCA Records. The first track on this album, "Amanda", actually written in 1980, became the band's only #1 single. The track reached and stayed at #1 for two weeks in November 1986.

Solo album of Begnagrad accordionist and leader, was in Nimal, one of the RIO legends.
Three distinct faces of his sound are represented here: The album opener is the stunning 23 minute three part symphonic title track, on which JP abstains from reliance on synthesizers, and uses a small orchestra to achieve his ends instead.
The secondalbum is excellent, like Magma at their most percussive, with plenty of strange vocal chorusing and lots of other effects.
