Amazing sound!! Yes, it is a bit pricey but if you have a few hundred bucks to spend, this is the box to get. Furthermore, the Cornerstone mini-LP is extremely rare & very hard to find these days. I was lucky!! Someone on eBay listed the box set which included Cornerstone. I jumped on it as quickly as I could. Never saw another STYX box that included Cornerstone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648316837050887366.post-78127071908762123682012-02-07T21:27:50.789+00:002012-02-07T21:27:50.789+00:00rapidshare links pleeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzze!!! thanks!...rapidshare links pleeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzze!!! thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648316837050887366.post-31325782864624473822011-12-08T23:41:28.335+00:002011-12-08T23:41:28.335+00:00Can you incude Randy Newman in the next series?Can you incude Randy Newman in the next series?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648316837050887366.post-882612259817537432011-10-27T06:06:22.232+01:002011-10-27T06:06:22.232+01:00This is for a guy who wrote about the STYX albums....This is for a guy who wrote about the STYX albums.They released all the STYX albums in Japan remastered last year in mini lp format.They sound fantastic ,but pricy.Same for KANSAS.In blue spec form.Fantastic sound.It is a shame that these American bands catalogs were never issued in the US in remastered format ,other then some for KANSAS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648316837050887366.post-40009878421024800322011-02-01T19:34:56.860+00:002011-02-01T19:34:56.860+00:00Thanks for this Rhino Records update!!

I bought the 25th anniversary edition of Michael Jackson's Thriller album which was remastered at Sterling Sound by Chris Athens. I was shocked that they compressed the sound to the point where you can actually hear the distortion! The original CD from the eighties sounds better without any doubt.. I can't imagine that the mastering engineer himself is proud of what he did, probably he was forced by some evil marketing chimps.

It's not like the remastered versions aren't already out there. Sad. I'd love to have Panorama and Shake It Up remastered. They only released the first two albums "The Cars (self title) and "Candyo" remastered.. not sure why they stopped. They sound great. And let me add this.. I realize Styx is not on the WB label (On A&M) but I cannot believe "Grand Illusion", "Pieces of Eight", "Cornerstone" and "Paradise Theater" are not out remastered. Amazing. Same goes for Donnie Iris... several of his most wanted albums "Fortune 410", "High & Mighty" not even out on cd. I hope they come out before I die. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648316837050887366.post-1603035496219562482010-03-11T23:30:58.167+00:002010-03-11T23:30:58.167+00:00In the case of J.

Personally, I want remastered and based on the Echo and the Bunnymen set that I just received, these are not. Even though these albums have been remastered relatively recently! Bush league to release something implied as new when it's not new. I don't recall a record company stooping to that level before on a "new" release.
