Notes: Chicago: Terry Kath (vocals, guitar); Robert Lamm (vocals,
keyboards); Peter Cetera (vocals, bass); Walter Parazaider (winds,
background vocals); Lee Loughnane (trumpet, background vocals);
James Pankow (trombone); Daniel Seraphine (drums). Recorded at
Columbia Studios, New York, New York; Columbia Studios, Hollywood,
California in August 1969. Originally released on Columbia (KGP-24).
Includes liner notes by David Wild. All tracks have been digitally
remastered. In some ways the first real Chicago album (1969's
self-titled CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY had, in addition to the longer
band name, a harder and somewhat more experimental sound), 1970's
CHICAGO II is fairly progressive and jazzy, especially in comparison
to the straight pop records the ensemble would be making in only a
few short years. The album, originally a double-disc record on
vinyl, is composed as four side-length suites of interconnected
songs, a conceit that works better here than it often can, not least
because CHICAGO II includes some of the group's best material. In
particular, the hits "Make Me Smile" and "25 or 6 to 4"
(incidentally, author Robert Lamm finally cleared up the mystery of
that title a couple of decades later--it's about someone looking at
a clock and seeing that the time is around 3:35 a.m.) are here. So
is the simply perfect ballad "Colour My World," the band's first
masterpiece and still perhaps their finest song ever
