STYX - THE GRAND ILLUSION (GOLD CD)

Styx The Grand Illusion On Gold CD From Audio Fidelity

Come Sail Away With This Superb-Sounding 70s Rock Classic

Features Mastering by Legendary Engineer Kevin Gray

Includes Replica Poster!

Led by the tandem of vocalist Dennis DeYoung and guitarist Tommy Shaw, Styx crystallized its knack for grand rock arrangements and pop balladry on 1977's The Grand Illusion, the album that catapulted the band to to multi-platinum superstar status. On the strength of hits such as "Fooling Yourself" and the ubiquitous piano-laden "Come Sail Away," Styx demonstrates the perfect blend of flair, catchiness, and ambition, stripping away any difficult art concepts in favor of crowd-pleasing albeit engaging melodies.

Featuring stellar mastering by iconic engineer Kevin Gray, Audio Fidelity's 24K + Gold edition of this Styx epic bests all prior editions. The audiophile label specializes in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases and beautifully reproduced original graphics. As always, the original master tape was played back on a specially constructed vintage tube playback deck, with the analog masters put through the new "Kensei Audio Transformer," a process that adds even more life to the music.

Sail away with Styx like never before!
