Styx II is the second album by Styx. It was released in 1973 on Wooden Nickel Records.
Background
After Styx moved to A&M Records and achieved national success in the US, the album was reissued in 1980 by their prior label, Wooden Nickel. Under the title Lady, the reissue had new artwork (though it is not to be confused with a Styx compilation album that was later released with the same name). It is also the only Styx album to not feature material written or co-written by guitarist James "J.Y." Young (apart from their covers album, Big Bang Theory).
