180-gram vinyl. Leftovertureis the fourth album b yAmerican rock band Kansas, released in 1976. With Steve Walsh taking a back seat on the production of material, Kerry Livgren stepped up and his compositions retained much of the classically inspired complexity of Livgren's previous work.

"Kansas - Leftoverture" is a high-quality LP reissue of one of the most influential progressive rock albums of the 1970s, presented here by the renowned reissue label MUSIC ON V. Originally released in 1976, "Leftoverture" captures Kansas at a creative peak, blending symphonic arrangements, complex song structures and melodic hooks into a cohesive listening experience that still sounds powerful and fresh today. The album is best known for the timeless classic "Carry On Wayward Son", a song that helped define the sound of American progressive rock and became a staple on rock radio and concert stages worldwide.

Carefully pressed on quality vinyl, it is aimed at both long-time fans and new listeners who want to discover "Leftoverture" in its most authentic form.
As an LP format, this release invites you to experience "Leftoverture" as a full, conceptual work - from the opening riffs and vocal harmonies to the more intricate, longer compositions on the second side.

The rich interplay of guitars, keyboards and violin, combined with sophisticated vocal arrangements, makes this edition ideal for attentive, immersive listening on a hi-fi turntable. Whether revisiting the record or exploring it for the first time, this LP emphasizes the depth and emotional range that made "Leftoverture" a landmark of 70s rock.
