"Helllooo fellow Stygians!! This is a great choice of three styx albums to be put together. Crystal Ball- 1976, The Grand Illusion-1977, Pieces of Eight- 1978. I'm 16 years old, Listening to this great music. But I still enjoy the new music/bands as well. Styx is SO underrated. Especially now. They have had two recent albums, CYCLORAMA- 2003, and the most Recent, Big Bang Theory- 2005. Both of these albums should be checked out by all.

Back to the item at hand. All three albums have a great sound, no audiable "cracks or pops" like on the Lp. Each Cd comes with a booklet. the only disappointing thing abouth this collection is that they are the EXACT same CD as if you were to buy each cd individually. I bought this thinking that the cd's would be remastered even more that the styx cd's already being sold, I was wrong, but didn't mind. It is SO much better listening to styx on Lp, but it is easier listeing on cd's if I'm traveling, or on the road. This is perfect for someone who does not have these records on cd yet, but if you do, don't bother, no surprises.

on a side note. STYX HAS NOT LOST IT AT ALL. Even though Dennis DeYoung does tour anymore(which is a shame!), Styx is still Rockin' the Paradise. I went to go see styx at the Big Fresno Fair, That was one of the best concerts that I have ever been to. Styx ROCKS!!!"

Im rating this package only...not the 3 styx albums

"This product is BS.

Record lable takes 3 albums and makes a box set of it...come on!

It easily wouda fit on 2 CD's or 1 Mp3 CD......or 4 albums on 2 CD.s.

Seems a waste of time, you save a few bucks buying this, but why not just take the A&M records "Equinox" through "Kilroy was Here" which is considered the best of Styx and features the Tommy Shaw line-up (except for Equinox)



This is just another record label rehashing something, no bonus tracks, no demos are included, waste of time."

"CRYSTAL BALL, THE GRAND ILLUSION, and PIECES OF EIGHT all in one collection ready to be ordered I think I've died and gone to heaven I have to believe that is true. These are 3 of their best albums. And if you haven't bought these yet buy them now because this is definetly worth the price tag this is some of the best music you will ever hear. This is the best band of all-time. You will get some of their best songs like "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", "Renegade", "Come Sail Away", "Shooz", "Grand Illusion", Pieces Of Eight", "Crystal Ball", "Superstars", "Mademoiselle", "Miss America", "Queen Of Spades", "Fooling Yourslef (The Angry Young Man)", "Sing For The Day", "Man In The Wilderness", "I'm Okay", and many many more. These are three albums any music fan will want to have in their possesion. Buy this great collection of music today or better yet NOW."
