Kansas it takes a woman s love


Masque is the third studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in October 1975. The album was reissued in remastered format on CD in 2001.

Contents

The opening track, "It Takes a Woman's Love (To Make a Man)", was remixed for release as a single, but failed to gain attention. The remix included additional guest vocals and contains segments far different from the album version. The album was remastered and issued on vinyl in 2014. It was also repackaged as Playlist: Masque, although several songs from Kansas (1974), "The Devil Game" from Song for America (1975), "No Room for a Stranger" from Audio-Visions (1980), "Right Away" from Vinyl Confessions (1982), but only "Two Cents Worth" and "All the World" from Masque appeared on the album.
