ⓒ & ⓟ 1980 A&M Records, Inc.

"EUR" etched & (EDP) logo oval stamped in runouts denotes a Styx - Paradise Theatre, should be used if both "T1" and the encircled EDP logo are present in the runouts.

This release features a single label on A side that shows tracks on both sides. B side has no label and is laser etched with the STYX logo and mirrored mermaids from the Paradise Theatre columns.

STERLING stamped on sides A and B.
On Variant 5, a single letter "B" is stamped directly opposite the cat# string in the runouts of Side A.

"Theater" is spelled 2 different ways throughout the cover and label - "Theater" on the back cover, within the text of the newspaper cut-out and credits inside the gatefold, and on the label; "Theatre" on the front cover and in the lyrics for "A.D. 1928"

Printed in U.S.A. on inner jacket and spine.

    Styx's Paradise Theater is loaded with classics such as Rockin' The Paradise, Too Much Time On My Hands, Nothing Ever Goes As Planned and Best Of Times but even the tracks you hardly eve hear are pretty cool. Lonely People and Snowblind are also kick ass tunes. Over all I think this is Styx 2nd best album and a true Classic. She Cares is Probably the weakest track on Paradise Theater. 84/100
