You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Leftoverture is the 4th studio album by American rock band Kansas, released in 1976. It was the band's 1st album to be certified by the RIAA, and remains their highest selling album, having been certified 5 times Platinum in the US.
Leftoverture opens with the song "Carry On Wayward Son", which Livgren wrote as a sequel to "The Pinnacle", the final song from the previous album Masque (1975). "Carry On Wayward Son" became the band's 1st top 40 hit, reaching No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977. The song has since remained a classic rock radio staple and a signature song for the band. The single "Carry On Wayward Son" has been certified 4× Platinum in the US and Platinum in the UK.
The album's title, Leftoverture, is a portmanteau of leftover and overture.
