 | Description: | First two A&M Records albums from the Chicago rockers, originally released in 1975 and 1976. Styx's career took off with the arrival of guitarist Tommy Shaw just before the tour to promote 'Equinox'. Their brand of melodic AOR earned Styx huge popularity and a succession of chart hits, not just in the US but all around the world. Digitally remastered and slip-cased. - 1975 & 1976 ALBUMS, 2 ON 12-On-1 of Styx's first two A&M records that were originally released in 1975-76. Equinox produced Styx's first single with A&M, the highly spirited 'Lorelei', which found it's way to number 27 on the charts. Although it was the only song to chart from Equinox, the album itself is a benchmark in the band's career since it includes an instrumental nature reminiscent of their early progressive years, yet hints toward a more commercial-sounding future in it's lyrics. After Equinox, guitarist John Curulewski parted ways with the band, replaced by Tommy Shaw, who debuted on 1976's Crystal Ball album. Crystal Ball wasn't as successful as Equinox, but it was a better album, showcasing Styx's increased skill for crafting simple, catchy pop hooks out of their bombastic sound. Both titles have been digitally remastered. BGO Records. 2006.Digitally remastered from the original tapes. Packaged in jewelcase with outer O-card.
