Kingdom Come Voiceprint CDs
By Kent Gabrin
In the 70th I bought the album "The lost ears". The other ones were out
of print.
In the 90th I read in the magazine HiFi Record Review that the three
albums of Kingdom Come was reissued. I immediatly ordered them.
On the CDs I discovered that the track information were not complete.
I tried to do some homework about that.
Here is the result of that.
Do what you want to do with it. It might add some information or it could
trig you to ask questions to Arthur himself:
Here you have:

Efforts to Name & Number tracks of ABKC
Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come is since september 93 available on
CD. Unfortunately (or deliberately artly done) all tracks are not
named or numbered. Using my ears, the double vinyl "The Lost
Ears" (TLE), notes from my recordings of the vinyl 'Journey' and
common sense I have tried to make a more complete list of the
contents of the three CDs. Of course if anyone else has
information that is more correct than my efforts and guesses I
want to hear (read) it.

Remarks:
0.) Exists on TLE but maybe not this version.
1.) My name of the track.
2.) Named on the sleeve but has no track number
3.) On TLE the three tunes has a total time of 11:30
4.) On TLE the group is called "Puddletown Express".
5.) This seems to be the version that exists on TLE
6.) This must be the beginning of 'Spirit of joy'.
7.) On TLE this tune has no name of its own. I think it's just
the end of 'Come Alive'
8.) Very much alike.
Different versions seems to exist.
Many of the extra tracks are different versions of the original
tracks from the vinyl. This is shown by different playing time of
the tracks. In many of the extra tracks an obvious different
sound is heard (shorter intro of 'Time captives', different
arrangement and sound of 'The Hymn', etc...)
Different names of the same tune.
Also note that 'Time Captives' is named 'Time Captains' on the
live CD of Arthur Brown of 1993 ("Order from Chaos - Live 1993"
Voiceprint VP144CD).
