I would  like to reinforce Epignosis' suggestions of Somewhere to Elsewhere and the new edition of Two for the Show.  The latter is an excellent collection of early material on two massive 70+ minute disks.  The performances and recordings are all top notch.  StE certainly ranks at the least as one of their best albums ever.  Can't go wrong with either of those.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Judging by the ratings on this site, I'd say your definition of "everyone" is a tad off.  Wink

Sorry I can't be more helpful but if you're still undeterred you can find a list of Kansas' albums here:

Good luck!
 
I agree go to Amazon.  I checked real quick and they have almost everything you need.  They also have what is called The Amazon Marketplace.  These prices are listed below the amazon price as new and used. Plus you can find some really good deals on new copies that are less than 10.00  These places are also rated by Amazon customers and are very reliable from my experience.  I have aquired lots of good deals on the Marketplace.
Good Luck!!

I'd like to make contact with them too.  Angry

But it's all good.  We got a bigger TV for $50.  Approve

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and my three-year-old son loves to get into our CD cabinet and pull them all out.

My husband got pretty upset because one of his favorite Kansas CDs is wrecked. Anyways, our anniversary is coming up and I want to surprise him with maybe all of Kansas’s work? Since I know that’s one of his favorite artists. Its just an idea but I know nothing about rock music so I was wondering if anyone could suggest where I could buy that for a reasonable price? 



Hello Nicole.  Welcome to the site.

First of all, I'd recommend getting rid of the kid.  We had a 4 year old once who tried to eat my Leftoverture CD.  He is now in Malaysia somewhere.  I think.

Seriously, I do not know of any way to acquire everything in one go except for auction sites (ebay, etc.).

I have all of Kansas' albums, but I acquired them one by one over time.  And I got lucky getting Vinyl Confessions at a very cheap price. 

So here are some suggestions:

Kansas Somewhere To Elsewhere album cover
This is Kansas' reunion album that came out in 2000.  It is, in my opinion, their greatest work ever.

Kansas Two For The Show  album cover
A new version of the live album Two for the Show just came out a year or so ago, and it features two discs and an attractive booklet with great photos.

Kansas Device - Voice - Drum (DVD) album cover
This is an excellent DVD featuring a great set list and the band in 2002.  I could have been at the taping of this in Atlanta, but did not have $200 for a seat.


Proto-Kaw Before Became After album cover
Proto-Kaw is an older version of Kansas that reunited decades later.  Excellent stuff.  They have three albums and a CD of older material:

Proto-Kaw Early Recordings from Kansas 1971-1973 album cover
This, as the title says, is early recordings from Kansas before they became the famous Kansas.

If you need further recommendations, I am happy to help.
