With Robby's passing, it reminded me of the classic progressive Kansas albums of the 70s. But also disappointment with the quality of the CDs. The early CD versions are lacking clarity and definition. While the later remasters are loud and generally brickwalled, flattening the wonderful dynamics.
Considering what Steven's accomplished with the Jethro Tull remixes, I'd love to hear what he could do with at least Masque (a poorly produced and mixed album even on the original vinyl), Leftoverture and Point of Know Return. Ideally, the Kansas catalog from the self-titled album through Audio-Visions. There's probably not much extra from the studio or even good live recordings other than Two For The Show. That remastered and expanded CD still sounds great. So how about releasing all the live recordings that were the source material like UFO's Strangers In The Night. I'd happily buy them.
