-
Great album! Even 48 years older it sounds fantastic after a little dusting. As someone else noted it's hot, but it sounds great. This is in excellent condition. Side 1 is one of the greatest sounding sides of an album ever. Side 2 is fine, but overall a great album!
-
This one grows on you. Three plus spins and you start to get it. Open up the poster and gaze upon the band for added effect. -
Terrific album, all time top 100 rock for me. One of the best B sides in rock too. Sounds great and copies are cheap!
-
I love this album. The Grand Illusion is what got me into rock in the first place, and Styx was my absolute favorite group for much of my time exploring the genre. This is a classic album, and the pressing quality is solid as well.
