Before Became After is a reunion album from the original Kansas II lineup, under their new name of Proto-Kaw. The Special Edition contains three bonus tracks - one new original song, a live version of "Belexes", plus a “single” version of “Words of Honor”. It also includes an informative interview CD-ROM video about the group.

"Greenburg, Glickstein, Charles, David, Smith and Jones" is a cover of a song by The Cryan' Shames from their 1968 album Synthesis.
