Description
I first met the members of Styx while working for A&M Records in Chicago. I always found the individual members—Dennis DeYoung, James "J.Y." Young, Tommy Shaw, and brothers Chuck and John Panozzo—talented, confident and driven. I was pleased to have worked with them through the releases Equinox (1975), Crystal Ball (1976), The Grand Illusion (1977), Pieces of Eight (1978), Cornerstone (1979), Paradise Theatre (1981) and Kilroy Was Here (1983).
For sale here is a sealed/never opened vinyl disc of the “Pieces of Eight” vinyl album. The cover concept was created by an outside design firm (Hipgnosis) and while controversial at the time, in hindsight, it is remarkable in its iconic status. As always, the band delivered hard-edged rock n roll and great power ballads.
