Audio-Visions<\/strong> is the seventh studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in 1980. The album was reissued in remastered format on CD in 1996 on Legacy\/Epic and again in 2011, as a Japanese import vinyl-replica CD, as well as part of the Sony\/Legacy domestic boxed set, Kansas Complete Album Collection 1974-1983, which packages all of the band’s original releases on Kirshner and affiliated labels CBS\/Columbia.<\/p>\n

Kerry Livgren’s recent conversion to Christianity is first heard on this album, primarily in the lyrics to “Hold On”, which was written as an evangelistic plea to his wife. That song was the original lineup’s last Top 40, peaking at No. 40 as the album’s first single. The second single from the album, “Got to Rock On,”charted outside the Top 40, and was released as a promo only 12″single as well, featuring a live version of the song on Side B of the promotional single, taken from an ABC Radio “the Source”live concert broadcast from Chicago. In addition, another stop on the Audio-Visions<\/strong> tour was broadcast on the radio show “A Night on the Road”, from the Palladium in New York City. In addition to playing almost every song on the album on the tour, the band also played one selection each from Livgren and Walsh’s recent solo albums. While every song from the album Monolith was played during the early part of the Monolith tour in 1979, not a single song from Monolith was played on the Audio-Visions<\/strong> tour.<\/p>\n

The eighth song on this album, “No One Together”, was originally intended for release on the previous album, Monolith, but it was dropped from that album due to an argument between Walsh and Livgren over whose song should be included there (with Walsh winning out the argument by having his song, “How My Soul Cries Out for You”, included) and wound up on this album instead.<\/p>\n

The album was to be the last album with the band’s original lineup until 2000’s Somewhere to Elsewhere, and coincidentally the band’s last studio album to be certified gold by the RIAA (which it did in December 1980).<\/p>\n

The album was later repackaged as Playlist: Audio-Visions<\/strong>, removing the last three tracks and including “How My Soul Cries Out for You”in the place of “No One Together”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
