Styx : Greatest Hits

 

BABE,

I'M LEAVING

I MUST BE ON MY WAY

THE TIME IS DRAWING NEAR

MY TRAIN IS GOING

I SEE IT IN YOUR EYES

THE LOVE , THE NEED , THE TEARS..

Greatest Hits

is a 

compilation album 

and primary

 Greatest Hits

 album 

by the American

 rock band

 Styx.

 It was released by

 A&M Records on

 August 22, 1995. 

It contains 

16 tracks, 

8 of which 

were Billboard 

Top 10 Pop Singles, 

another 4

 that were

 Billboard Top

 40 Pop Singles, 

and 4 

that received 

heavy airplay 

on FM album

 oriented

 rock stations.

This album essentially 

replaced Styx's 

previous greatest hits album

Styx - Classics, Volume 15,

 which was released by A&M

 in 1987. 

That previous album

 had excluded

 the hit song 

"Lady" 

because the song 

was originally

 recorded for

 and released 

through 

Wooden Nickel Records 

which also had a

 distribution arrangement

 with RCA Records

 Because A&M/PolyGram 

had been unable to 

secure distribution rights

 to the song, 

most of the 

classic lineup of

 Styx 

Dennis DeYoung, 

Tommy Shaw, 

Chuck Panozzo

 and 

James "J.Y." Young

 reunited to

 re-record 

the track at 

Dennis' home studio, 

The White Room. 

They were joined by

 uncredited 

session drummer 

Todd Sucherman, 

who filled in for 

John Panozzo 

due to Panozzo's

 failing health;

 Sucherman joined

 the band permanently

 in 1996, 

during the 

Return to Paradise tour. 

The track, 

which is very similar to

 the original, 

was titled

 "Lady '95".

With the exception of

 "Lady '95", 

Styx - Greatest Hits

 features the 

original album versions 

of all the other songs

 included in the compilation. 

"Come Sail Away" 

is presented here

 in its full 

6:05 version

 and 

"Miss America" 

is here in its 

original 

studio version
