[Pieces of Eight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pieces of Eight

Studio album by Styx
Released September 1, 1978
Recorded 1978 at Paragon Recording Studios, St. James Cathedral Chicago
Genre Progressive rock, hard rock
Length 42:18
Label A&M
Producer Styx

Pieces of Eight is the eighth studio album and second concept album by Styx, released September 1, 1978 (see 1978 in music).

The album was the band's follow-up to their Triple Platinum selling The Grand Illusion album. The band members produced the album and recorded it (like their previous three efforts) at Paragon Studios in Chicago with recording engineer Barry Mraz and mixing engineer Rob Kingsland. "I'm O.K" was recorded at Paragon and St. James Cathedral, because of the pipe organ. This would be the last album to be produced at Paragon Studios.

The theme of the album, as Dennis DeYoung explained on In the Studio with Redbeard which devoted an entire episode to Pieces of Eight, was about "not giving up your dreams just for the pursuit of money and material possessions".

Eight of the album's ten tracks have vocals, and it features two instrumentals, the DeYoung synthesizer showcase "The Message" and Tommy Shaw's closing "Aku-Aku" (although for the latter, there was one lyric spoken, the title of the song).

The album's cover was done by Hipgnosis. DeYoung stated in the same 1991 interview with Redbeard on the "In the Studio" episode that he initially hated the cover but grew to like it as he got older.

The album peaked at #6 on the Billboard album chart, and like its predecessor would go Triple Platinum.

Хороший альбом.. у меня тоже есть какое-то европейское издание. Правда мой любимый у них следующий, но и здесь есть несколько замечательных вещей!
Может у кого есть двойной концертник 84 года? :help:
