Description
Ten CD box set. The Studio Albums 1969-1978 rounds up the remasters of what many consider Chicago's golden period – the band's first 10 albums. Every one of the albums from 1969's Chicago Transit Authority to 1978's Hot Streets is here, packaged as paper-sleeve mini-LPs. For hardcore fans, this is a handsome way to get the remasters, and for more casual fans, it's a convenient and relatively affordable way to get the best albums of Chicago in one place.
