STYX - RCA/Wooden Nickel Promo pack

Postby Kilroy1983 » Tue Sep 02, 2014 5:29 am

MGT. & RCA MESH FOR STYX PROMO [Billboard Magazine, February 9, 1974]

As part of the promotional pack to push STYX, includes:
"A Feb. 16 TV concert on educational WTTW-TV's Made in Chicago series simulcast in stereo over
WBBM-FM"

Would have been this program actually aired?

Did not know about I'm Gonna make You Feel It (awful choice), Father OSA (good song, but not a pop single), Winner Take All (Would have been great with DDY on lead vox and maybe a hit single), or Unfinished song!?!? (wish they had promoted that one!).

And is it just me or did RCA have a bit of a "Blue Collar Man" fetish with "Best Thing"? Could you try to release that song a few more times?

Always thought 'What Has Come Between U's and' Young Man' were two of Styx's best on Wooden Nickel.
