	17 New - LP - 25060 Sealed 1984 Original With Custom Hype Sticker. "Chicago 16 Finally Gave Chicago A Big Hit After A Four-year Drought, Thanks In Large Part To New Producer David Foster, Who Steered The Jazz-rock Veterans Toward A Streamlined, Crisply Produced Pop Direction On That 1982 Effort. Given That Success, It's No Surprise That The Septet Teamed With Foster Again For Its Next Album, 1984's Chicago 17 (Apparently Roman Numerals Were Left Behind Along With Their Progressive Jazz-rock). It's Also No Surprise That Foster Took An Even Greater Control Of 17, Steering The Group Further Down The Adult Contemporary Road And Pushing Peter Cetera Toward The Front Of The Group, While Pushing The Horns Toward The Back. Indeed, It's Often Possible To Not Notice The Horns On 17; They Either Fade Into The Background Or Meld Seamlessly With The Synthesizers That Are The Primary Instruments Here, Providing Not Just The Fabric But Foundation Of Nearly All The Arrangements, As Synth Bass And Drum Machines Replaced The Rhythm Section. This Did Not Sit Well With Many Longtime Fans -- And It May Have Also Caused Some Tension Within The Group, Since Cetera Left After This Album -- But It Did Make For The Biggest Hit Album In Chicago's History, Going Quadruple Platinum And Peaking At Number Four On The Billboard Charts. A Big Reason For Its Success Is The Pair Of Hit Ballads In "Hard Habit To Break" And "You're The Inspiration," Two Big And Slick Dramatic Ballads That Each Peaked At Number Three On The Charts And Helped Set The Sound For Adult Contemporary Pop For The Rest Of The Decade; The Likes Of Michael Bolton And Richard Marx Are Unimaginable Without These Songs Existing As A Blueprint (In Fact, Marx Sang Backup Vocals On "We Can Stop The Hurtin'" On 17). Ballads Were A Big Part Of 17 -- In Fact, These Hits And Album Cuts Like "Remember The Feeling" Are Among The First Power Ballads, Ballads That Were Given Arena Rock Flourishes And Dramatic Arrangements But Never Took The Focus Off The Melody, So Housewives And Preteens Alike Could Sing Along With Them. Power Ballads Later Became The Province Of Hair Metal Bands Like Bon Jovi And Poison, But Foster's Work With Chicago On 17 Really Helped Set The Stage For Them, Since He Not Only Gave The Ballads Sweeping Rock Arrangements, But The Harder, Punchier Tunes Here Play Like Ballads. Even When The Band Turns Up The Intensity Here -- "Stay The Night" Has A Spare, Rather Ominous Beat That Suggests They Were Trying For Album-oriented Rock; "Along Comes A Woman" Has A Stiff Drum Loop And A Hiccupping Synth Bass That Suggests Dance-pop -- The Music Is Still Slick, Shiny, And Soft, Music That Can Appeal To The Widest Possible Audience. 17 Did Indeed Find The Widest Possible Audience, As It Ruled Radio Into Late 1985, By Which Time There Were Plenty Of Imitators Of Foster's Style. There May Have Been Plenty Of Imitators -- Soon, Solo Cetera Was One Of Them, Making Music That Was Indistinguishable From This -- But Nobody Bettered Foster, And Chicago 17 Is His Pièce De Résistance, A Record That Sounded So Good It Didn't Quite Matter That Some Of The Material Didn't Stick As Songs; As A Production, It Was The Pinnacle Of His Craft And One Of The Best Adult Contemporary Records Of The '80s, Perhaps The Best Of Them All. Certainly, It's Hard To Think Of Another Adult Contemporary Album Quite As Influential Within Its Style As This -- Not Only Did It Color The Records That Followed, But It's Hard Not To Think Of Chicago 17 As The Place Where Soft Rock Moved Away From The Warm, Lush Sounds That Defined The Style In The Late '70s And Early '80s And Moved Toward The Crisp, Meticulous, Synthesized Sound Of Adult Contemporary Pop, For Better Or Worse, Depending On Your Point Of View."

	Chicago II Used - LP - R1 76172 2009 2LP 180gm audiophile reissue housed in a deluxe gatefold. Still in shrink baggy with hype stickers. Lacquer & remaster by Chris Bellman; Pressed at RTI. "The Chicago Transit Authority recorded this double-barreled follow-up to their eponymously titled 1969 debut effort. The contents of Chicago II (1970) underscore the solid foundation of complex jazz changes with heavy electric rock & roll that the band so brazenly forged on the first set. The septet also continued its ability to blend the seemingly divergent musical styles into some of the best and most effective pop music of the era. One thing that had changed was the band's name, which was shortened to simply Chicago to avoid any potential litigious situations from the city of Chicago's transportation department -- which claimed the name as proprietary property. Musically, James Pankow (trombone) was about to further cross-pollinate the band's sound with the multifaceted six-song "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon." The classically inspired suite also garnered the band two of its most beloved hits -- the upbeat pop opener "Make Me Smile" as well as the achingly poignant "Color My World" -- both of which remained at the center of the group's live sets. Chicago had certainly not abandoned its active pursuit of blending high-octane electric rockers such as "25 or 6 to 4" to the progressive jazz inflections heard in the breezy syncopation of "The Road." Adding further depth of field is the darker "Poem for the People" as well as the politically charged five-song set titled "It Better End Soon." These selections feature the band driving home its formidable musicality and uncanny ability to coalesce styles telepathically and at a moment's notice. The contributions of Terry Kath (guitar/vocals) stand out as he unleashes some of his most pungent and sinuous leads, which contrast with the tight brass and woodwind trio of Lee Loughnane (trumpet/vocals), Walter Parazaider (woodwinds/vocals), and the aforementioned Pankow. Peter Cetera (bass/vocals) also marks his songwriting debut -- on the final cut of both the suite and the album -- with "Where Do We Go from Here." It bookends both with at the very least the anticipation and projection of a positive and optimistic future." All Music Guide - Lindsay Planer. more

	Chicago III Used - LP - CG 30110 Clean 1980 2LP gatefold reissue; Barcode on rear fold. "Chicago's third effort, much like the preceding two, was initially issued as a double LP, and is packed with a combination of extended jams as well as progressive and equally challenging pop songs. Their innovative sound was the result of augmenting the powerful rock & roll quartet with a three-piece brass section -- the members of whom are all consummate soloists. Once again, the group couples that with material worthy of its formidable skills. In the wake of the band's earlier powerhouse successes, Chicago III has perhaps been unrightfully overshadowed. The bulk of the release consists of three multi-movement works: Robert Lamm's (keyboards/vocals) "Travel Suite," Terry Kath's (guitar/vocals) "An Hour in the Shower," and James Pankow's (trombone) ambitious and classically influenced "Elegy." While the long-player failed to produce any Top Ten hits, both Lamm's rocker "Free" -- extracted from "Travel Suite" -- as well as the infectious "Lowdown" respectively charted within the Top 40. "Sing a Mean Tune Kid" opens the album with a nine-plus minute jam highlighting the impressive wah-wah-driven fretwork from Terry Kath (guitar/vocals) and some decidedly rousing syncopated punctuation from the horns. Lamm's highly underrated jazzy keyboard contributions are notable throughout the tune as he maneuvers Peter Cetera's (bass/vocals) bouncy basslines and the equally limber percussion of Danny Seraphine (drums). "What Else Can I Say" reveals much more of the band's fusion beyond that of strictly pop/rock. The supple and liberated waltz bops around the playful melody line and is further bolstered by one of the LP's most elegant brass arrangements as well as some equally opulent backing vocal harmonies. "I Don't Want Your Money" is a hard-hittin' Kath/Lamm rocker that packs a bluesy wallop lying somewhere between Canned Heat and the Electric Flag. Again, Kath's remarkably funkified and sweet-toned electric guitar work hammers the track home. Although "Travel Suite" is primarily a Lamm composition, both Seraphine's "Motorboat to Mars" drum solo and the acoustic experimental "Free Country" balance out the relatively straightforward movements. These include the aggressive "Free" and the decidedly more laid-back "At the Sunrise" and "Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home." Kath's "An Hour in the Shower" reveals the guitarist's under-utilized melodic sense and craftsmanship. His husky lead vocals perfectly complement the engaging arrangements, which blend his formidable electric axe-wielding with some equally tasty acoustic rhythm licks. In much the same way that the Beatles did on the B-side medley from Abbey Road (1969), Chicago reveals its rare and inimitable vocal blend during the short "Dreaming Home" bridge. Chicago III concludes with Pankow's six-part magnum opus, "Elegy." Its beautiful complexity incorporates many of the same emotive elements as his "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" from their previous long-player. The ironically cacophonous and tongue-in-cheek "Progress" contains both comedic relief as well as an underlying social statement in the same vein as "Prologue, August 29, 1968" from Chicago Transit Authority (1969). The final two movements -- "The Approaching Storm" and "Man vs. Man: The End" -- are among the most involved, challenging, and definitive statements of jazz-rock fusion on the band's final double-disc studio effort. As pop music morphed into the mindless decadence that was the mid-'70s, Chicago abandoned its ambitiously arranged multifaceted epics, concentrating on more concise songcrafting."

	Chicago Transit Authority Used Import - 40AP 1226~7 1978 Japanese 2LP Gatefold Reissue With Obi & Insert. "Few Debut Albums Can Boast As Consistently Solid An Effort As The Self-titled Chicago Transit Authority (1969). Even Fewer Can Claim To Have Enough Material To Fill Out A Double-Disc Affair. Although This Long-Player Was Ultimately The Septet's First National Exposure, The Group Was Far From The Proverbial "Overnight Sensation." Under The Guise Of The Big Thing, The Group Soon To Be Known As CTA Had Been Honing Its Eclectic Blend Of Jazz, Classical, And Straight-ahead Rock & Roll In And Around The Windy City For Several Years. Their Initial Non-Musical Meeting Occurred During A Mid-February 1967 Confab Between The Original Combo At Walter Parazaider's Apartment On The North Side Of Chi Town. Over A Year Later, Columbia Records Staff Producer James Guercio Became A Key Supporter Of The Group, Which He Rechristened Chicago Transit Authority. In Fairly Short Order The Band Relocated To The West Coast And Began Woodshedding The Material That Would Comprise This Title. In April Of 1969, The Dozen Sides Of Chicago Transit Authority Unleashed A Formidable And Ultimately American Musical Experience. This Included An Unheralded Synthesis Of Electric Guitar Wailin' Rock & Roll To More Deeply Rooted Jazz Influences And Arrangements. This Approach Economized The Finest Of What The Band Had To Offer -- Actually Two Highly Stylized Units That Coexisted With Remarkable Singularity. On The One Hand, Listeners Were Presented With An Incendiary Rock & Roll Quartet Of Terry Kath (Lead Guitar/vocals), Robert Lamm (Keyboards/vocals), Peter Cetera (Bass/vocals), And Danny Seraphine (Drums). They Were Augmented By The Equally Aggressive Power Brass Trio That Included Lee Loughnane (Trumpet/vocals), James Pankow (Trombone), And The Aforementioned Parazaider (Woodwind/vocals). This Fusion Of Rock With Jazz Would Also Yield Some Memorable Pop Sides And Enthusiasts' Favorites As Well. Most Notably, A Quarter Of The Material On The Double Album -- "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?," "Beginnings," "Questions 67 And 68," And The Only Cover On The Project, Steve Winwood's "I'm A Man" -- Also Scored As Respective Entries On The Singles Chart. The Tight, Infectious, And Decidedly Pop Arrangements Contrast With The Piledriving Blues-Based Rock Of "Introduction" And "South California Purples" As Well As The 15-Plus Minute Extemporaneous Free For All "Liberation." Even Farther Left Of Center Are The Experimental Avant-Garde "Free Form Guitar" And The Politically Intoned And Emotive "Prologue, August 29, 1968" And "Someday (August 29, 1968)."

	Chicago Transit Authority New - LP - PG 8 Sealed (1986-1991 Pressing) in gatefold. Bottom Seam Split. The debut album by the American rock band Chicago, is a masterpiece that showcases the group's exceptional musicianship and songwriting skills. Released in 1969, the album features timeless classics such as "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" and "Beginnings," which continue to be radio staples to this day. The band's unique blend of rock, jazz, and blues is evident throughout the album, with each member bringing their unique style to the table. The brass section, in particular, is outstanding, adding a layer of depth and complexity to the music that was rare in rock at the time. What sets Chicago Transit Authority apart, however, is the band's ability to create songs that are both musically complex and accessible. The album is full of catchy hooks and memorable melodies that stay with the listener long after the record has ended. It remains a must-listen for anyone interested in the history of rock music and continues to inspire new generations of musicians. more
	Chicago Transit Authority Audiophile - New - R1 76171 Sealed 2009 2LP 180gm audiophile remastered gatefold reissue. "Few debut albums can boast as consistently solid an effort as the self-titled Chicago Transit Authority (1969). Even fewer can claim to have enough material to fill out a double-disc affair. Although this long- player was ultimately the septet's first national exposure, the group was far from the proverbial "overnight sensation." Under the guise of the Big Thing, the group soon to be known as CTA had been honing its eclectic blend of jazz, classical, and straight-ahead rock & roll in and around the Windy City for several years. Their initial non-musical meeting occurred during a mid-February 1967 confab between the original combo at Walter Parazaider's apartment on the north side of Chi Town. Over a year later, Columbia Records staff producer James Guercio became a key supporter of the group, which he rechristened Chicago Transit Authority. In fairly short order the band relocated to the West Coast and began woodshedding the material that would comprise this title. In April of 1969, the dozen sides of Chicago Transit Authority unleashed a formidable and ultimately American musical experience. This included an unheralded synthesis of electric guitar wailin' rock & roll to more deeply rooted jazz influences and arrangements. This approach economized the finest of what the band had to offer -- actually two highly stylized units that coexisted with remarkable singularity. On the one hand, listeners were presented with an incendiary rock & roll quartet of Terry Kath (lead guitar/vocals), Robert Lamm (keyboards/vocals), Peter Cetera (bass/vocals), and Danny Seraphine (drums). They were augmented by the equally aggressive power brass trio that included Lee Loughnane (trumpet/vocals), James Pankow (trombone), and the aforementioned Parazaider (woodwind/vocals). This fusion of rock with jazz would also yield some memorable pop sides and enthusiasts' favorites as well. Most notably, a quarter of the material on the double album -- "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?," "Beginnings," "Questions 67 and 68," and the only cover on the project, Steve Winwood's "I'm a Man" -- also scored as respective entries on the singles chart. The tight, infectious, and decidedly pop arrangements contrast with the piledriving blues-based rock of "Introduction" and "South California Purples" as well as the 15-plus minute extemporaneous free for all "Liberation." Even farther left of center are the experimental avant-garde "Free Form Guitar" and the politically intoned and emotive "Prologue, August 29, 1968" and "Someday (August 29, 1968)." The 2003 remastered edition of Chicago Transit Authority offers a marked sonic improvement over all previous pressings -- including the pricey gold disc incarnation."

	Chicago VI Used - LP - KC 32400 1973 gatefold original. Solid VG+ copy. Some light wear to the jacket's spine. "This is the sixth album from the jazz/pop/rock combo Chicago, and was likewise the first to be recorded at the plush, well-lit, and custom-built Caribou Studios in Nederland, CO. The facility was owned and operated by the band's manager and producer, James William Guercio, and eventually became the group's retreat for their next five (non-compilation) long-players. Another and perhaps more significant change was the incorporation of several "outside" additional musicians -- most notably Laudir De Oliveira (percussion), who would remain with the band for the next seven years and eight LPs. Although Chicago had begun as a harder-edged rock & roll band, popular music styles were undergoing a shift during the mid-'70s into a decidedly more middle-of-the-road (MOR) and less-aggressive sound. This is reflected in the succinct pop and light rock efforts, contrasting the earlier lengthy and multi-movement epics that filled their earlier works. Nowhere is this more evident than on Chicago VI's (1973) two Top Ten singles: the easygoing James Pankow (trombone) ballad "Just You & Me" as well as the up-tempo rocker "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," which Pankow co-wrote with Peter Cetera (vocal/bass). This more melodic and introverted sensibility pervades the rest of the disc as well -- especially from Robert Lamm (keyboard/vocals), who is particularly prolific, penning half of the material on the disc. Even his sardonically titled "Critics' Choice" -- which is undoubtedly a musical rebuttal to Chicago's increasingly negative critical assessment -- is a languid and delicate response, rather than a full-force confutation. "Darlin' Dear" -- another Lamm contribution -- on the other hand, is a horn-fuelled rocker that actually recalls Little Feat more than it does most of Chicago's previous sides. Compositions from other bandmembers include the heartfelt Terry Kath (guitar/vocals) ballad "Jenny," which features some fluid fretwork much in the same vein as that of Jimi Hendrix's "Angel" or "Castles Made of Sand." Additionally, Peter Cetera's (bass/vocals) "In Terms of Two" includes a more down-home and countrified acoustic vibe. While Chicago VI is an undeniably strong effort -- supported at the time by its chart-topping status -- many bandmembers and longtime enthusiasts were beginning to grow apart from the lighter, pop-oriented material."

Few Groups Can Boast Such An Auspicious Debut Album And Fewer Still Could Have Enough Excellent Material To Fill Four Sides Of Vinyl. The album was originally released under the name Chicago Transit Authority, but in 1970 the band changed their name to simply Chicago. The album was a groundbreaking fusion of rock, jazz, and Latin music, and it established Chicago as one of the most innovative and successful bands of the era. It features several of the band's most iconic songs, including "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", and "Questions 67 and 68". The album was produced by James William Guercio, who had previously worked with bands like The Buckinghams and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Guercio's production emphasized the band's horn section, which became a signature sound for Chicago. The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching #17 on the Billboard 200 chart and spawning two hit singles. It was certified double platinum by the RIAA and is widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums in rock history. more
