Monolith is the sixth studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released May 1979. The album was remastered and reissued in 2011, as a Japanese import vinyl-replica Blu-spec CD (Epic EICP 20078) including the rarity live version of “On the Other Side” previously available only on the 1994 Legacy-issued Box Set. A domestic version of the remaster was released in standard CD format in the US as part of Legacy Recordings’ Classic Album Collection series which included all of their Kirshner/CBS studio releases. A Dutch-issued “Music on CD” series released the album on CD in 2016. It was last of the albums with the original lineup to be re-released on vinyl.
