Music Monday: Styx/The Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings

After allowing some of the early Styx songs to be on the Come Sail Away anthology, Wooden Nickel then remastered all of the old albums and released them as a set together in 2005. This was The Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings.



It included everything from Styx, Styx II, The Serpent is Rising, and Man of Miracles It also includes "Unfinished Song", which was supposedly released as the B-side to the single "Best Thing". However, this is where things get confusing since there are three versions of Man of Miracles. These are the singles I have (though I know there are prob more):

73-0106 Best Thing/What Has Come Between Us
73-0106 (SP-45-347) Best Thing (stereo)/Best Thing (mono) - These are the originals I'm guessing.
WB-10329 Best Thing/Havin' a Ball - Says it's from "Man of Miracles" so this is the first version of the album.
WB-11205 Best Thing/Winner Take All - From the Best of Styx album
But...
DJHO-0252 Unfinished Song (stereo)/Unfinished Song (mono) - Nowhere do I see this as a b-side to Best Thing. It also claims this was on the 1980, or third version of the album, but the year on the single is 1974?
