Reviews
- I just found this at an estate sale and got it not because it was only like $5... it is in --pristine-- condition. This album looks like it was bought in 1969 and played once. Even the sleeve looks brand new. I had a double-take when I saw what album it actually was, I thought it was a recent release of something with a black cover. Only the issues of INNER SLEEVE (YES!!!!!) inside are a bit browned.
- This is one of my desert island records. I have 2 copies, one of which is in pretty bad shape, but the good one still sounds great and I'll pass it on to the next generation.
- Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath was a legend! This album shows why! A legend taken from us in his prime...
- I got a message that my album has been changed but I cannot check out the facts or see because the album still has the saran wrap and has never been opened. I have no clue about what the message means.
For younger people who might think that Chicago is an 80s Peter Cetera ballad engine, get this album immediately. It's cheap and easy to find on vinyl or CD and it is an incredible collection of jazzy rock with killer horns and amazing electric guitar. Really the first 5 albums are pretty great, but this is the one to have if no other. You will count yourself a Chicago fan if not a fan of music from this era in general. Either way, it will be a good turn.
