Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and my three-year-old son loves to get into our CD cabinet and pull them all out. Now that he’s getting smarter and stronger he has learned how to open the cases and take the CDs out which as you can imagine, has damaged quite a few. 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? |

Kansas has a lot of albums and I'm about 90% sure they never released a box set or anything that included all of their stuff... honestly Amazon is probably your best bet but new copies of the albums will probably still be between 10-15 dollars apiece and "Vinyl Confessions" is out of print. Sorry I can't be more helpful but if you're still undeterred you can find a list of Kansas' albums here: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=630 Good luck! ------------- "The meaning of life is to give life meaning."-Arjen Lucassen |

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:  This is Kansas' reunion album that came out in 2000. It is, in my opinion, their greatest work ever.  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.  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 is an older version of Kansas that reunited decades later. Excellent stuff. They have three albums and a CD of older material:  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. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

I was going to suggest that she contact the people that stole your TV and laptop and have them stop by and pick up your Kansas collection for her. -------------

I'd like to make contact with them too.  But it's all good. We got a bigger TV for $50.  ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

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!!

Judging by the ratings on this site, I'd say your definition of "everyone" is a tad off.  ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

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" |

I don't think the issue of convincing her that Kansas is a great band is the problem.........She seems to be looking for the most convenient, quickest way to purchase and receive Kansas material. -------------

Point of Know Return is Kansas's best album. Let the off topicness begin.

There is a very cheap box set (£10.99) which includes their first five albums (up to inc Point Of Know Return). Amazing value as you get all their classic albums in one set. No brainer if you want my opinion.

^sounds like the best option so far. That really is cheap and those five albums are definitely among their best. Too bad it doesn´t include "Point of Know Return" though. Then you would have all the Kansas albums you need
...oh damn I forgot:
 you should get that one too.
...and Amazon is usually a good place to purchase music at a reasonable price. ------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

<p ="Msonormal">Nicole, you’re in luck! I use this site %5bhttp://www.kansasband.com/" rel="nofollow - [http://www.kansasband.com/ all the time to get discounts on music collections and such and I actually saw that they had the works of Kansas on there the other day at http://www.kansasband.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.kansasband.com/ I was actually considering buying it myself. I think it was like $80 or something like that, which is a really good deal for such a famous rock artist. Good luck and happy anniversary! <!--EndFragment--> |

Why didn't you just tell "her" yourself or would you look as stupid as you think we are talking to yourself? IPs are logged you clown and this post and the OP are from the same computer. Because I am a nasty man I am going to suspend you "both" and remove the links and replace with a link to Kansas' own site.

Erm, it's possible they just went thru the same gateway isn't it? I mean your prolly rite, my money is on spammer too, but just know that thru the joy of things like NAT traversal, people can appear to be posting from the same location when they aren't.

The exact same IP address? I've got an Uncle in the Nigerian Treasury who needs to move $200 Million ASAP. Just send me your bank details and you can have 10% facilitation fee.

Should have known it was spam. No self respecting music lover would sit by and let one of their kids play with and destroy their collection.

And yet also dumb ... if that box set is legit, they can just post it in one of the Prog News sections.

Actually, yes. Like I said, I agree this is a spammer, but for instance, if you posted from any of the dorms on campus at my Uni, it would look like ti came from the same ip address. It's the concept of a WAN ip, You have one address that you show the public net, instead of it seeing each individual PCs ip address. It's both for security and to conserve address space. It's only gonna get more convoluted since IPv4 is out of address space and ppl are dragging tail about converting to 6, so whole giant sections of the internet will prolly be goign thru NAT traversal before too long. You may know all this already, I dunno, but I managed a site for a while and accidentally banned half the campus because of one guy. -------------

I know how it works and we are mindful of campus networks, libraries etc.
However one only has to read the two posts to know. Truth is I suspected the motives of the thread from the outset. You'd just go to Amazon... |
