The Kansas Classics Albums Collection should be the benchmark for how collaborations of this format are assembled. All of the classic albums from the original Steve Walsh era (74-80) plus the two often-maligned but still solid and impressive efforts from the Elefante era. Minature gatefold sleeves showing the classic artwork of these legendary albums. And most importantly - the sound quality on these discs is amazing, perfectly remastered and clear. Monolith and Audio-Visions have never sounded better. I can discern each and every instrument and dynamic range without clipping, brickwalling, distortion and other hinderances that ruined similar "remasters" from other artists (Genesis comes to mind, their 2007 remasters were atrocious).



New - Factory shrinkwrapped & Sealed.
