Sounds so 60's very early 70's!!! Great song! Had no idea it was a Beatles song. The band sounds tight and definitely on their way to Big Things!

It’s not a Beatles song. It was recorded by the Knickerbockers. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies_(The_Knickerbockers_song)

This is one of the all-time greatest covers ever. It's a shame that it sounds so blindingly bright on the remaster.

An (obviously) great remake of this old Knickerbockers hit. Wooden Nickel replaced it with "Best Thing" on their numerous reissues after Styx hit the big time. Thankfully, they put it back on the The Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings cd.

That explains it...I always wondered why "Best Thing" was on both my Styx 1 and "Man Of Miracles" LPs...My Wooden Nickel copy of "Man Of Miracles" is a reissue...never heard this before. Great cover!

Another version (Miracles, Not Man of Miracles) has "Unfinished Song" in place of Best Thing, on it.

I usually don't don't like any remakes from the Beatles in any way, form, shape, or fashion or from any other singers or performers but coming from a staunch Beatles Fan, I must say this is very good remake!

The original was by the Knickerbockers but it does have a Beatles sound. They were an American band trying to sound like a British Invasion band.

I burst out laughing when I first heard this on Pandora! Styx, the band who brought us Mr. Roboto and Come Sail Away, covering what is essentially an early Beatles knockoff. That is crazy.

This is not a Beatles cover. It's a " Beatle like" song from the Knickerbockers. It was a top 20 hit for them in 1966. Nothing to do with the Beatles, except upon first listen some thought it was the Beatles.

True. Almost always prefer the original to remakes, but this version by Styx might be an exception.

James young is really not that good in these early years until "Equinox" His sound is terrible! His phrasing of notes is a atrocious. For the most parts this band sounds like a "beatnick" band sunglasses- go-tees- and black beanie artist hats. The main problem is the guitar is bad on these albums. The song "man of miracles" is pretty good, out side of that the guitar work is terrible.

Unfortunately that's NOT James Young on the lead guitar break. The solo was played by John Curulewski. I dig it either way
