MR

Growing up I rarely purchased any 45's. I pretty much always purchased the album.

My intro to Styx was when I heard my older brother playing the 45 Lady. At some point I stole it from him and listened to it along with the B side Children Of The Land ( which I really didnt like).

I really never saw many 45's from the band. What was the B side to Lorelei? B side for Mademoiselle,Come Sail Away, Fooling Yourself.......... High Time, Music Time....... Love is the Ritual's B side was Homewrecker, Show Me The Way?? Love at First Sight?? ....... Too Much Time On My Hands?????? etc etc...................

If I remember correctly when Blue Collar Man was released Queen of Spades was its B side. Is That correct? I also believe that Styx released Sing For The Day as their second single and Renegade was the B side. Is that correct? If so how did that work? Because then when Renegade was released as Styx's 3rd single off of Pieces Of Eight wasnt Lord Of The Rings its B side? Many wouldnt purchase Renegade since they already had it on the Sing For The Day release. I may be way off on all of this.

I think the only singles I ever saw were off the Pieces of Eight album and of course the single lady.

So what were the Besides of all the Styx released singles. I truly dont know

Finally can we get thru this 'Assembly Line' without another love fest from Toph & Monker??

Check Styx on rateyourmusic.com

Thank you. I just logged off that site. Its great but some of it is WRONG.

For 100% sure the B side to Lady that we owned had 'Children Of the Land' on it. I'm 100% sure of this.

I'm also 95% sure or more that Sing For The Day was Styx's second release off of POE. It stalled at #41. I purchased the single at a Target store. Renegade was the B side. The only reason Im not 100% sure is looking at the 45 jacket for Renegade I've seen that jacket before many times.

Damn Im getting old

Going backwards (and this is from memory)

Love At First Sight b/w World Tonite
Show Me The Way b/w Back to Chicago
Love Is The Ritual b/w Homewrecker (Can you imagine picking up that single? You'd get a VERY different perspective of Styx)
Music Time b/w live version of Heavy Metal Poisoning
High Time b/w Double Life
DLIE/RTP
Roboto/Snowblind

I think BoT was b/w Lights
TMTOMH b/w Borrowed Time maybe?

I'll need to look up the rest.

I believe WN released more then one 45 single for Lady. They each had different B sides.

I never paid attention to vinyl singles. I didn't see the point if I had bought the album. When CD singles started I bought a few of them...because they sometimes had extra songs not on the CD, or at least alternate versions.

The ones I remember are:
U2 - I think it is the single for "One"...It has the extra song, "The Lady With the Spinning Head"...pretty good song.

Damn Yankees - Come Again/High Enough...It has an accoustic guitar version of "Come Again".

John Waite - "In Dreams"...has three alternate versions of the song and the extra song "Ecstasy"

Journey - "A Test of Time3"...not really a CD single, but a compilation of some of the extras in the box set.

Journey - "Open Arms"....I know there was a CD single that was issued to sell the remasters released just prior to TBF. Don't remember what else was on it...Maybe DSB.

Thank you for the list.

I would bet $100 that back in the day in Mpls/St.Paul WLOL thought Lights was the release. They played it all the time.It might of even been top 10 on their playlist. Never once did I hear Why Me on the radio. Also the ONLY release that I EVER saw of Renegade was when they were pushing Sing For The Day and Renegade was the BEside.


* Any idea about Show Me The Way's B side, Love at First Sight's BEsides? I know that Love Is The Ritual's B side was Homewrecker.

How about Paradise, On My Way, Dear John, It Takes Love & Little Suzie?? Were any of those ever released?? If so what were their BEsides?

Memories and Forget Me Not were specific A&M products released as double sided "hit" singles years after the single had come and gone. It was designed to drive excitement of singles, which at the time, were falling out of favor.

Yes... also 45cat site for vinyl singles only.
