Kansas: Point Of Know Return - Original Kirshner Release
CBS/Kirshner JZ 34929, original US Release, 1977
Vinyl remaster in 24-bit/96kHz resampled and dithered to redbook | FLAC | LP Scans | 288MB

“This is the definitive Kansas recording and includes their most famous tune, "Dust in the Wind." The band is in peak form and also churned out the single "Point of Know Return," which is still played daily on classic rock stations. While their pop-oriented approach and standard rock guitar sound helped define the classic rock sound of the '70s, careful listening reveals that this band's talent goes beyond colleagues such as Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Boston. Their arrangements and time signatures more accurately reflect the music of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. "Paradox" and "The Spider" are both excellent examples of their progressive approach. Unfortunately, the band always struggled to maintain a healthy balance of progression combined with pop. That made for such awkward moments here as "Portrait (He Knew)" and "Lightning's Hand." Yet despite the minor inconsistencies and a dated sound, their interplay and superior musicianship make this both an essential classic rock and progressive rock recording. ~Allmusic”

I've had the CD of "Point..." for ages, and while it didn't sound terrible,
the sound was lacking and a bit muddy. I figured the session wasn't recorded
all that well to begin with.

Well, I just listened to your wax transfer version and it sounds SUPERB!! Can't
thank you enough, LPMaraudar!

I've been a fan of your rips since you began, including your initial prank posts on the hirez set;) This one is also outstanding, and what makes it even more so is that you're doing it without exotic so-called 'audiophile' LPs or big-buck imports, just standard and mostly original domestic pressings along with your fantastic hardware and keen ear. Very impressive! and this Kansas rip is no exception. Thanks, and keep them coming!
