    Best collection of Chicago's best.

    This is the best 2-disc set of Chicago. It covers all eras of the band's history with all the great tunes from those years. My only complaint is that the percussion jams were cut short from "Beginnings" and "I'm a Man." Not sure why that is, as those jams are part of what made those songs so great. I don't know if disc space was tooo tight to include them. If so, one of the clunker tunes could have been omitted. Or maybe the record company believed that people didn't care for that kind of jamming any more (wrong!). Anyhow, if you like Chicago, get this set.

    A good compilation but ....

    This cd is a good compilation of the early years of the band. One of the main reasons that I bought the cd was for the song Beginnings. But the editors chose to use the shortened version of the song that deletes the drum solo at the end. Now I'll have to buy a different cd to get the original version.

  • This Chicago CD set has it all!

    This double CD set has all of the faces of Chicago: the hard grooving Latin and jazz inspired Chicago of the late 60s and early 70s; the crooning love songs of the Peter Cetera era; the radio classics that you can't get out of your head; as well as the superb musicianship of all the players that became part of the Chicago sound over the decades (especially those horn players!). If you love Chicago, you'll love this CD set. If you don't know Chicago's music, this CD will be an excellent sampler platter to introduce you.

  • Super Great Originals

    I bought this item because I was a teen when CTA, Chicago Transit Authority, released their first album. The songs were first rate in their time. I have their 2 LP album set but I wanted to hear it in my car. Thank goodness for cd's. Now I can cruise and hear my old music .
