Vinyl Confessions
Special Limited Deluxe Collector's Edition / Remastered - Sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology by Jon Astley (the Who, Judas Priest, Eric Clapton etc) 12 page full colour booklet, 4,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and full artist involvement. KANSAS, DESPITE the fact that they were relatively unheard of in Europe, were one of America's most successful rock bands during the mid to late '70s. Their brand of progressive pomp rock had spawned several multi platinum albums and hit singles, including the ubiquitous radio staples 'Carry On Wayward Son' and 'Dust In The Wind'. However, by the early 80s all was not well within the Kansas camp. Singer Steve Walsh had elected to leave the band, paving way for the appointment of a new vocalist, the previously unknown John Elephante. Recorded in Los Angeles at Chateau Recorders with producer Ken Scott (Supertramp, Jeff Beck) and featuring Queen's Roger Taylor on backing vocals, the band crafted a winning slice of melodic rock with all the twists and turns that you might expect from such masterful musicians.
