General Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Styx' first four albums released through "Wooden Nickel" records (their fifth, "Equinox" would be their first on "A&M" records) re-released on a two-CD set and a must-have for any Styx fan out there for the plain and simple reason that these are cracking good albums.

Granted, one can feel that these releases are less cohesive, less rough also, than the foursome that came after (the aformentioned "Equinox" (1975), "Crystal Ball" (1976), "The Grand Illusion" (1977) and the 1978 release "Pieces Of Eight") but the basis is there.


*NOTE*

Got these files from a close friend who got the FLACs from "Pedro's BT Tracker" in August 2005. They've been on my computer ever since and are presented here as they were originally ripped (with the exception of me filling out the "Album Artist" tag.

Original EAC log is included also.
