Description
STYX Pieces Of Eight New & Sealed Vinyl Record
Record Label: Nautilus NR 15 Year: 1978
An extremely hard to find SEALED copy of this nautilus, Limited Edition Audiophile Pressing. Record is housed in it's original loose shrinkwrap. There are no flaws or blemishes... 100% MINT!
Out of print since the early eighties, Nautilus Albums were mastered in Half-Speed technology which allows more time for the original session master tape to be transferred perfectly to vinyl... a very costly and time-consuming process that was also used by Mobile Fidelity. They have superior packaging and unique static free inner sleeves to protect each record. Known for their pure and natural sound, Nautilus releases are still considered some of the best Vinyl ever created.
Mastered by Jack E. Hunt at the JVC Cutting Center.

Review: In some ways, Styx was America's answer to Queen. The Chicago quintet never ascended to the ranks of rock-and-roll royalty, as did their English counterparts, nor are they held in as high a regard today.
Nevertheless, Styx fulfilled a Midwestern American hunger for high-flown fantasy typified on Pieces of Eight with songs like Dennis DeYoung and James Young's "I'm Okay" and "Lords of the Rings," with their elaborate arrangements, soaring vocal harmonies, and lyrical pretensions. In quite another direction, guitarist Tommy Shaw writes about basic human needs and working-class values in "Blue Collar Man," while his song "Sing for the Day" is a pleasant air, and "Renegade" a hard-charging rocker. Styx may have seemed somewhat schizophrenic on Pieces of Eight but their legions of fans diminished not a whit, making the album the band's second multiplatinum effort in a row, following The Grand Illusion. ~ Amazon
