Album Notes
Producers include: James William Buercio, Phil Ramone, David Foster, Bruce Fairbairn, Ron Nevison.Compilation producers: Chicago, David McLees.Includes liner notes by Bill DeYoung.All tracks have been digitally remastered.Chicago commemorates 35 years of playing together with the career-spanning 2-CD anthology ONLY THE BEGINNING. This Windy City septet started out as one of the few '60s groups aside from Blood, Sweat & Tears and The Electric Flag to fuse a full horn section with a rock band. Chicago's early hits included more aggressive fare like "25 Or 6 To 4," "Beginnings," and a scorching cover of The Spencer Davis Group's "I'm A Man," but they became known as a ballads band as the '70s progressed. AM hits like "Saturday In The Park," "Just You 'N' Me," and "Baby, What A Big Surprise" helped solidify this reputation.Despite stumbling in the late '70s and getting dropped by Columbia Records, Chicago neatly landed on its feet at Warner Brothers. Their chart assault in the '80s continued with ballads like "Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Look Away," "Hard Habit To Break," and the quintessential prom theme/wedding song "You're The Inspiration." Hits sans Peter Cetera (who left in 1985), include "Chasin' The Wind." Wrapping up this 40-song set is "Sing, Sing, Sing," a new collaboration with The Gipsy Kings.

The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning (2CD's)

Created: 09/07/10
If you like the early 70's you will definately like this one by Chicago. It contains most of their hits and I believe it is a "platinum" selling recording.
Brings back old memories when you hear the tunes. In my opinion Chicago is one of my favorite groups of the era. Their melodies, harmonies and especially the brass really adds to the full sound, unlike tunes for the modern era music(cheap sounding)at times. Bought it as I didn't own this particular cd, had it in vinyl and my turntable finally seen it's better days.
Peace be with ya all, Gary Y.

This is the best Chicago CD set ever? I really like their earlier pieces the best. This CD set has the really nice brass and horns that make Chicago distinctive.

Classic Rock at it's Very Best -- Chicago

Created: 04/01/07
Way back when ... Chicago was the first band I saw live in concert. Listening to this album, the music still sounds good. I purchased this collection mainly for disk 1. It contains some of the Best in classic rock from the Beginning of Chicago all through the 70's. Disk 2 is also good but my favorites are on the first disk. Almost 40 songs -- classic rock -- Chicago. A good choice.
