MFSL CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY AND COMPARSION 180 GRAM PRESSING A horn section in a rock band? You bet. Chicago showed the world how they could rock with brass and successfully incorporate funk, jazz and pop balladry.  Formed in its namesake city in 1967, Chicago is the first American band ever to propel albums into Billboard's pop Top 40 for five consecutive decades. The group's first two albums were released as double LPs, and their unprecedented fusion of rock, pop, and jazz won Chicago immediate success.

Their debut, Chicago Transit Authority, was originally released in 1969 and climbed to #17 on Billboard's pop albums chart.

Chicago was founded in 1967 by Walt Parazaider (woodwinds), James Pankow (trombone), Lee Loughnane (trumpet), Roert Lamm (keyboards and lead vocals), Terry Kath (guitar and lead vocals), and Danny Seraphine (drums). They called themselves The Big Thing. They added bassist-lead vocalist Peter Cetera and began working with their original producer-manager James William Guercio, subsequently becoming known as Chicago Transit Authority. Their self-titled 1969 debut release was an ambitious mix of free-form rock and horn-influenced jazz, the first of three double LPs that would start their career.

The band dropped the "Transit Authority" from their name and became known as simply "Chicago" in 1970. Chicago II was the first album to carry their trademark logo.

  CHICAGO CHICAGO IX Chicago's Greatest Hits LP

 1975 Compilation Album Features 11 Hits Including "25 or 6 to 4", "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", (I've Been) Searchin' So Long"!

Chicago IX: Chicago's Greatest Hits, released in 1975, was the first greatest hits album for the group, their 9th album overall. Including all of Chicago's biggest hits at the time, the set covers the period from their 1969 debut The Chicago Transit Authority to 1974's Chicago VII.

The 1975 compilation album reached #1 in the US during a chart stay of 72 weeks.

Starting in 1967, well before all the hits started flowing, Chicago established a reputation for its powerful live show. Fueled by a passion for music, Chicago’s members exploded the conventions of what rock music could or should be. The result was a groundbreaking new form, played by extraordinarily talented musicians. Early fans like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were sufficiently impressed - they took the group out on their respective tours.
