I grew up with this group. Kansas is one of my favorites. Great music with great lyrics. I believe this is a must have if you don't already own it!

The best songs Kansas did, plus a few extra cuts. What more could you ask?

KANSAS - The Best of Kansas (1999)(**** ) 12 tracks (65:31)
This is the expanded version of The Best of Kansas that came out in 1984 on vinyl. The earlier version had only 9 songs on it. This 1999 update includes The Pinnacle, The Devil Game, and the "Live" version of Closet Chronicles, previously on the 2 record set, Two For The Show.
For a single disc "Best of", it's not bad. KANSAS has so many great tracks from a dozen albums it's hard to decide exactly what to include. The easy ones are the definitive hits, such as Dust In the Wind, Carry On Wayward Son, Song for America, and Hold On.
For the Fans who want everything that KANSAS has to offer, it's an easy choice, since this CD is the only place to obtain the Live version of Closet Chronicles that was omitted from the Compact disc version of Two for the Show, so it could a single disc also. Otherwise, this is just a place for the casual fan to get some basic KANSAS music. A good place for someone to get acquainted with the bands most popular songs. Isn't that what "Best of's" are for?
True fans will already have all the bands individual CD's.

The Best of Kansas offers most of their best songs, but you know, there's NEVER been a case where I was completely satisfied with a compilation disc. It's because once you explore an artist more, you realize their Best of or Greatest Hit collection can't possibly capture their best moments. And since "the best songs" and "their biggest hits" are two separate things, this CAN'T be the Best of Kansas. It's missing a few highly memorable progressive rock tunes, especially some of their songs from the first two albums. As someone who's a fan, I don't like that very much. But then again, as a fan, I don't need this album. I recommend you pick up the first two albums to hear what Kansas was like in the early days and then pick up one of their later albums to see where they ended up.

I first bought this album back when It was first released. Excellent complilation. I loved every song on here and eventually since then I went out and bought every CD. I even liked " Perfect Lover" and was disappointed that it was not included in the remaster. They could have included it and still included the three extra tracks. "Closet Chronicles" was an excellent choice to include as an extra track.
