THE BEST OF KANSAS

This title is very misleading. Kansas greatest hits would be more appropriate, I guess. Anyway, the only reason I bought it was because in the early 90´s it was cheap and easy to find. In 1977 a friend gave as a birthday gift the vynil of Point Of Known Return and I thought it was one of the best records I ever heard. But here, what a deception! Only two songs from that record and not much more from their prog stuff. No liner notes or information on the boooklet (at least on mine!). the tracklist is a desaster on itself, mixing their classic songs with Elefante´s era pop/AOR in sequence. As soon as I got a hold of the CD versions of their classic albums I had to get rid of it. I don´r recommend this CD to anyone, even the new remastered version with some additional songs is not really worth it. Kansas deserved a better compilation. I give it two stars because the songs themselves are very good anyway.
