The Chapters

Two of the songs, "Don't Be Late (Chapter Two)" and "Too Much to Lose (Chapter Seven)" were part of a series of eight (but later sixteen) songs that Saga included within their first four albums called "The Chapters", which told the story of a young Albert Einstein. These songs were later included on The Chapters Live (2005). To date, there's been no official compilation of the chapters in their studio incarnation.
