The Thirteenth Dream

The Thirteenth Dream was the second (and final) "reunion" album from Spirit. It features re-recordings of several of their best-loved tracks, along with three new songs. The most noteworthy things that can be said about the album are in regard to the excellent fidelity of the album, as it was originally recorded by an audiophile label and is an early digital recording (dating from December 1982), and that it was the first Spirit album to be released on CD, as it appeared in that format from Mercury Records in West Germany in 1984 (consequently, it is also one of the best sounding early CD releases from a rock band, probably due to the recording technology that was implemented).

As previously mentioned, this album was originally released on CD in 1984. However, the original CD is incredibly rare. It was later reissued in 2004 by Beat Goes On in a two-fer with Future Games.

A version of Elijah (originally released on Spirit) was recorded during these sessions and issued as the b-side of a maxi single. It has not appeared on any of the CD releases, nor on the LP.

The album was issued as Spirit of '84 in the United States.
