Chicago X (Gate)

Limited edition 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold sleeve. How sweet it was: the chocolate album cover and the plum position that Chicago had reached by America's Bicentennial Summer of '76. The legendary rock 'n' roll band with horns had released eight amazingly diverse records by then - all would eventually be certified as million-plus sellers. Four were double-disc affairs that flirted with classically structured suites and jazz improvisation. Following up their 'Best Of' collection Chicago IX, Chicago X found the band as pop conscious as ever and it proved to be yet another Top Ten charter for the band. Classic album cut and Chicago's first No. 1 hit "If You Leave Me Now" became a double Grammy winner while John Berg's trademark artwork also took home a Grammy as well. Further highlights come in the form of "Another Rainy Night in New York City," "You Are on My Mind" "Skin Tight," and "You Get It Up."
