KANSAS – Point Of Know Return Live & Beyond (2021)

KANSAS are releasing their new album ”Point of Know Return Live & Beyond”, available on 2-CD & vinyl. The 22-track double album documents 12 shows from 2019 and 2020, recorded during their anniversary tour behind 1977’s Point of Know Return. This release includes that LP in full, alongside other deep cuts and hits.
“We knew we wanted to release a live album of the Point of Know Return anniversary tour,” said Phil Ehart, the band’s drummer and the record’s co-producer, in a statement. “Being unable to tour for more than a year has given us the opportunity to work on Point of Know Return Live & Beyond and release it for our fans who are missing live concerts as much as we are.”
This live album sounds great, capturing and representing how Kansas sounds live in concert now. And the material is top class.
Highly Recommended

STREETS – Crimes In Mind [Rock Candy remaster]

As we said on the previous post, the two excellent albums from melodic rockers STREETS featuring the awesome Steve Walsh (Kansas) and guitar master Mike Slamer have been brilliantly remastered by Rock Candy Records. “Crimes In Mind” is the band’s second and final album, another superb melodic record with some AOR touches.
Fast forward ever so slightly to 1985 and the band’s follow up “Crimes In Mind” has production duties this time around being taken care of by the much acclaimed, and then man of the moment, Beau Hill.
If Street’s 1st is a great one, then wait to hear the terrific “Crimes In Mind”.
From the start with the wonderful “Don’t Look Back”, we’re blessed with…

STREETS – Streets 1st [Rock Candy remaster]

The two excellent albums from melodic rockers STREETS featuring the awesome Steve Walsh (Kansas) and guitar master Mike Slamer have received a brilliant remastered treatment by Rock Candy.
Streets were formed in 1983 by Steve Walsh after his departure from Kansas, who decided to take more control of his musical destiny and was joined by bassist Billy Greer and drummer Tim Gehrt. The final piece of the puzzle was completed by super talented Mike Slamer, a British born former member of City Boy who had relocated to the US in order to seek out new musical opportunities.
The combination of Walsh’s…
