Kansas (2)
Vinyl Confessions

Listening notes

Kansas released *Vinyl Confessions* on Epic Records in 1982, catalogued as LNS-17394. The album appears on vinyl in genres spanning Pop Rock, Prog Rock, and Rock — a combination that reflects the broad stylistic range the band had navigated across their catalog.

The record is structured across two sides, each carrying five tracks. The A side opens with "Play The Game Tonight" at 3:24, followed by "Right Away" at 4:03, "Fair Exchange" at 4:56, "Chasing Shadows" at 3:17, and "Diamonds And Pearls" at 4:47. The B side begins with "Face It" at 4:15, continues through "Windows" at 3:29, "Borderline" at 3:57, and "Play On" at 3:30, before closing on "Crossfire," the album's longest track at 6:33.

Taken as a sequence, the tracklist shows a relatively consistent run of mid-length songs across both sides, with most falling between three and five minutes. "Fair Exchange" and "Diamonds And Pearls" are the longer entries on the A side, while "Crossfire" stands apart on the B side as the sole track to exceed six minutes, giving the closing stretch a noticeably different weight in terms of duration alone.

The catalog number LNS-17394 is the reference point for identifying this specific pressing, and collectors and researchers consulting physical copies should verify matrix and label details against their own copies, as pressing variations are common and this entry reflects only the information confirmed here.

*Vinyl Confessions* remains documented as a 1982 Epic release from the band listed on Discogs as Kansas (2), a designation used to distinguish them within that database's cataloguing system.
