The Band – To Kingdom Come - The Definitive Collection (2 CD, 1989, Capitol Records D272450, Club Edition)

Why This CD Matters
To Kingdom Come - The Definitive Collection is a two-disc retrospective covering The Band’s landmark recordings from their late-1960s emergence through their 1970s catalog. Its 31-track program includes “The Weight,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” “Stage Fright,” “Life Is A Carnival,” and “It Makes No Difference.” The collection also reaches beyond the best-known singles with album tracks and later recordings that document the group’s blend of rock, country, folk, blues, and American roots traditions.

Collector Note
This 1989 U.S. Capitol Records two-CD club edition carries catalog number D272450 and presents the complete 31-track Definitive Collection program. The set draws extensively from The Band’s Capitol catalog while also including “Back To Memphis” from their earlier work with Ronnie Hawkins. This club edition preserves the original late-1980s compilation sequence across two discs rather than presenting the material as a later remastered anthology.
