Cover Notes Kansas took a sharp turn with Drastic Measures, embracing a more radio-friendly rock sound. The satirical cover shows the band in tuxedos holding military weapons behind sheet music stands — a visual metaphor for the album’s title and shift in tone. This Canadian pressing on CBS features John Elefante on vocals and production, marking the band’s evolution in the early '80s.

Additional Notes Includes the hit “Fight Fire with Fire,” which reached #3 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. Canadian pressings are known for their quiet vinyl and bold jacket printing. This was the final Kansas album to feature Robbie Steinhardt before the band’s mid-decade lineup change.
