Well, this should be awesome.

Description
Hot on the heels of Chicago’s recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the celebration of the legendary “rock band with horns” musical legacy continues with a new boxed set that includes quadraphonic and stereo mixes in high resolution 192/24 DTS-HD Master Audio on nine Blu-ray Audio discs.

The CHICAGO QUADIO collection will be available on June 17 for a list price of $159.98. Housed in a rigid two-piece box, nine albums are presented in sleeves that replicate the original release down to the last detail, including mini posters, and the iron-on that came with Chicago VIII. To ensure optimal sound quality, Rhino has remastered each album in both its original quadrophonic and stereo mix on each disc, and so that the quadrophonic mix will play on surround sound systems.

Formed in 1967 in the band’s namesake city, Chicago is one of the longest-running and best-selling groups of all time. It’s the first American band to ever chart albums in Billboard’s Pop Top 40 in six consecutive decades, and is the highest charting American band in Billboard’s Hot 200 All-Time Top Artists, earning the #9 spot. The group’s extensive accomplishments include: a Grammy Award, multiple American Music Awards, 11 Number One singles, five consecutive Number One albums, and record sales in excess of 100,000,000, with 47 albums earning gold and platinum certification.

From its inception, through to the late 1970’s, Chicago perfected the art of making melodic, jazz-tinged rock with a keen pop sensibility. On those early albums, the band was led by guitarist Terry Kath, keyboardist Robert Lamm, bassist Peter Cetera, drummer Danny Seraphine and Chicago’s signature horn section: trumpeter, Lee Loughnane; trombonist, James Pankow; and saxophonist Walt Parazaider.

CHICAGO QUADIO spans seven years and includes eight studio albums, in addition to Chicago IX: Chicago’s Greatest Hits. The group’s long string of jazz-rock mega hits includes: “Make Me Smile,” “Saturday In The Park,” “25 Or 6 To 4,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” “If You Leave Me Now,” and many more.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, including Chicago’s performance, will premiere on April 30 on HBO. And next year, the group will celebrate its 50th anniversary.

This sounds absolutely perfect for me. Hi-res original quad mixes, mini LP sleeves ... this box will become my entire Chicago collection. I'm in as soon as Amazon lists it.

Me too. I've been trying to curtail my spending recently and I've been mostly successful, but it's hard to pass up these big-ticket items.

According to Joe at TheSecondDisc, the list price indicated in the press release is $159.98. I guess that's not unreasonable but hopefully it comes down prior to release.

I hope it comes down as much as the Elvis box set did in the UK. Would love to get this for around $100.

I was debating whether or not to complete my collection of the original Chicago LPs.

Guess this makes the decision for me.

Wow. In on this for sure. I love the Rhino Quadio of CTA. I wonder how this will compare to the 5.1 DVD-A's of II & V. I'm almost sure they are actual new mixes in 5.1 as opposed to the original Quad mix.

Yes, II & V were new 5.1 mixes, as Quad doesn't have any center channel audio. :)

One of my favorite bands and I have every album aside from the hideous Xmas albums and Big Band album.

I don't have the money for this and I'm happy with the current remasters and I don't have the capacity here for a stereo setup.

But this is the kind of thing that would get me to bite if I was interested in Quad.

The first 3 & possibly the 3 main live albums are it for me. I especially think CTA is a seminal work, but after Chicago 3, it just gets too AM radio/pop for me.
