Kansas The Ultimate Kansas - Disc 1 of 2 (2002)
The Ultimate Kansas - Disc 1 of 2\n2002 Epic/Legacy\n\nOriginally Released July 2, 2002\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Epic/Legacy's double-disc set The Ultimate Kansas pretty much fulfills the promise of its title. Although it doesn't delve into the group's latter-day recordings for MCA and other labels, that's not a problem because most listeners -- whether they're fairweather or dedicated fans -- will want to concentrate on the group's peak in the '70s, which is precisely what this does. Over the course of 26 tracks, all the hits and album-oriented radio staples are featured, usually in their full-length album versions, plus a number of fan favorites and key album tracks that help draw a full picture of what the group did. The remastered, expanded single-disc of The Best of Kansas remains the best bet for the casual fan, since it has all the big hits on one disc, but anybody seeking to dig deeper than the hits and radio favorites -- without actually hearing the original albums -- should turn here, since its selection and sound is better than the three-disc box. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThe Ultimate Kansas Anthology, July 4, 2004\nReviewer: A music fan\nTHE ULTIMATE KANSAS is an expanded version of the 1999 expanded THE BEST OF KANSAS, and it beats the 1994 KANSAS BOXED SET by a country mile because it covers the John Elefante years as well as the early years. It would have been nice if it was sequenced chronologically, or if "Can I Tell You" from the first album had been included, but THE ULTIMATE KANSAS is still just that.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nNot enough, February 14, 2004\nReviewer: Music Fanatic (Bettendorf, IA United States)\nThis compilation has remastered versions of several great songs that aren't available on remasters of the full albums. In particular, Death of Mother Nature Suite and the three songs from Monolith. But, as other reviewers have mentioned, there are several of the band's best songs left off of this. Icarus? Miracles Out of Nowhere? And let's face it, nobody cares about the songs from when Walsh wasn't in the band. If you want to get the best of Kansas, skip this and buy the remasters of Masque, Leftoverture, and Point of Know Return.
This rock cd contains 12 tracks and runs 70min 50sec.
