Description
The Grand Illusion is the seventh studio album by American rock band Styx, released on July 7th, 1977 (7/7/77). The album launched the band to stardom, spawning the hit singles: "Come Sail Away" and "Fooling Yourself," and selling over three million copies in the US. According to keyboardist Dennis DeYoung, the album's theme was the struggle to overcome self-deluding superficiality in order to affirm one's genuine value. This theme was reflected in the lyrics of the album's title track. The track "Miss America" was guitarist James Young's scathing attack on the Miss America pagent. The idea for the song came to him in the middle of the night, its sole riff was inspired by the Jethro Tull song, "Minstrel in the Gallery." The albums artwork was done by Kelly and Mouse, who also did a lot of Journeys album covers. This is the Original 1977 US Vinyl Pressing (with Band Poster) on the A&M Label. It is SEALED and in MINT CONDITION. The shrink is tight, no tears or rips, and the corners are sharp. No color fading at all. Looks Brand New! The catalog # on the spine is: SP-4637.
