180g Audiophile Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso & Lee Loughnane from Original Chicago Records Master Tapes!
Chicago II was the second chapter in a long line of multiplatinum smash albums for Chicago which began in 1969. Featuring the original award winning line-up of Robert Lamm (lead vocals/keyboards), Peter Cetera (lead vocals/bass), Terry Kath (lead vocals/guitars), the legendary horns of James Pankow (trombone), Lee Loughnane (trumpet), Walter Parazaider (saxophone/woodwinds), plus Danny Seraphine (drums), Chicago II is undoubtedly one of the biggest selling albums of the classic rock era and also one of the most revered offerings in their huge catalog. Buoyed by the success of huge hit singles like Make Me Smile, 25 or 6 to 4 and Colour My World, Chicagos stunning follow-up to their debut smash Chicago Transit Authority was filled with so many great songs, it could be its own greatest hits collection.
Further smashes like the powerful It Better End Soon suite, the stellar Wake Up Sunshine plus the late Terry Kath masterwork In the Country all truly make this fine album even more of a treasure trove of classic rock enjoyment.
Its been several decades since the rare original vinyl version of Chicago II has been available... that is until now! Friday Music is very honored to continue the CHICAGO 180 GRAM Audiophile Vinyl Series with their masterpiece Chicago II. Mastered impeccably from the original Chicago Records master tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Records in Hollywood, CA, along with Chicagos Lee Loughnane, this album is truly a thrilling audiophile vinyl release.
