Incredible Remastered Sound and Expanded Liner Notes 

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 and became known as simply Chicago on this, their second album in 1970, which was the first album to carry their trademark logo. Peaking at #4 on the Billboard charts, Chicago II yielded some of the group's most enduring hits, which came from Pankow's suite "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon," emulating the form of the great classical composers from a pop perspective.

"Kevin Gray is responsible for the first two remasters in the series, and they are both excellent. These are now serious audiophile discs, with full range dynamics restored and the frequency response flattened out. With sound to match the musicianship on these records, the true genius of Chicago’s early
works shines through." --Jeff Dorgay, TONE Audio, Issue 22
