This is an ORIGINAL 1974 U.S. COLUMBIA RECORDS QUADRAPHONIC ISSUE OF THE 1969 LANDMARK CLASSIC 2 LP SET titled 'Chicago Transit Authority' from Chicago, their first album and a powerful jazz-rock classic.  Columbia Records catalog number is GQ 33255, gatefold cover, with stock Columbia SQ stock inner sleeves with technical information about quadraphonic record and pictures of then-current Columbia quadraphonic equipment.  Quadraphonic LPs are desirable even if you do not own quadraphonic equipment for their quad mixes that are different from the mixes used for their stereo counterparts. 

Tracks:

Condition of both records is a real nice EX with each record having one or two very light surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play - Records play very quietly as you would require from audiophile records.   Condition of SQ stock inner sleeves is VG+ with a few slight wrinkles, no splits.  Condition of cover is VG with 4" splits in the right sides of the top edges of both gatefolds and a 1" split in the right hand edge of the borrow gatefold ( have carefully and neatly repaired these splits by taping from the inside).  Gatefold cover also has some ring and contact wear, a few slight wrinkles, and some wear and flaking along the edges and on the corners.  Cover has no water damage, tears, writing, or stickers.  This is one of the scarcer and more sought after quad titles - It would be a nice addition to any quadraphonic or audiophile rock record collection!  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - PLEASE NOTE: NEW FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (18.55) AND GERMANY is $27.00 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!  PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S.!   BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE!
