Product Description
Borrowing their name from the city where they got together in 1966, Chicago mixed jazz sophistication and rock power to create loud, often political anthems that were right for the times. With the new decade, they re-invented themselves as purveyors of radio friendly ballads like the Grammy winning, “If You Leave Me Now”, surviving personnel changes to head into a fifth decade at the top. This package features all the hits and key tracks, from “25 or 6 to 4” to “Hard To Say I'm Sorry” and beyond.

Disc 1
1. If You Leave Me Now
2. Hard To Say I'm Sorry
3. Hard Habit To Break
4. You're The Inspiration

8. Call On Me
9. No Tell Lover
10. Song For You (Single Version)
11. Will You Still Love Me?
12. I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love
13. What Kind Of Man Would I Be?
14. Look Away
15. Stay The Night
16. You Come To My Senses
17. You're Not Alone
18. Take Me Back To Chicago

Disc 2

There's very little from the Warner Bros. years here, just the top singles (nothing beyond 1991). However, there are some deep tracks here that I've never seen on a one- or two-disc compilation, such as "Memories Of Love", "Critic's Choice", and "Loneliness Is Just A Word". Somewhat intriguing, though unnecessary to me and most of those who have already dipped their toe into the Chicago pool...

I agree-an odd comp as is typical for Music Club, but there are 11 songs (if I counted right) from the Full Moon Warner/Reprise years here, I wouldn't say very little! Also, remember they had only a few hits in the UK.

Renny, have you ever had a thread where you list all those performers that are in or nearing "Doors Territory"? Just in the last few days you've mentioned Toto and now Chicago. You can't really go by worldwide comps though, because every country may have it's own compilation of an artist.

Isn't Music Club basically a European bootlegger/pirate?

Good Lord, no. They're like a modern-day Pickwick but reputable. :)

I'm surprised Chicago licensed their stuff to them. Music Club is usually a super BUDGET label.

I have a Music Club collection for M (the group that did "Pop Music") as well a couple of various artist latin jazz and soca collections, and have no complaints about any of them. This looks like a mess, though, from the cheesy cover to the shuffle play-style sequencing.

I like it when the old ICE stuff comes up every once in a while. Things were looser and more fun in those days.
