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 regards 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).
