Got the 2006 remaster of this this past weekend at Walmart for only 5 bucks, and after a couple listens am really enjoying it. Of course You're the Inspiration and Hard Habit to Break are as great as always but there are some other equally enjoyable ballads on here too. And even though the more flat-out rockers are taking some time to warm up to me, some of them like Prima Donna are quite good too. So overall I'd say this is a pretty worthwhile Chicago album and at only 5 bucks practically a steal.

Along Comes a Woman and Once In a Lifetime are my favorite songs on this. They both sound terrific - especially in the summer.

One of the finest produced and engineered recordings I've ever heard. Engineer: Humberto Gatica. Producer: David Foster. Hats off to both of them, plus the band. Astounding on vinyl, too. A great $5.00 score.

i was in wal-mart the other night (my wife made me go :()

i cannot believe that you could find anything in that $5 bin. i was about 5 feet in diameter and about 2 feet deep and the CD's were, literally, just thrown in there with absolutely no rhyme or reason. i got very frustrated, very quickly.

and i remember when i used to look through each and every cut-out, sometimes going back again in case i missed something.

I hate dump bins, but obviously the folks at Wal Mart must love them because they've been using them for years for their budget DVDs and now their budget CDs too. These days I usually just scan over the top layer but when I'm seriously looking through one I'll make stacks as I go along so I don't keep picking up the same items. I leave them neater than I found them, and I'm sure it drives the employees crazy.

Best Buy does the same thing, and it really cuts down on how much I look. I don't have the patience to sort through everything.
