Chicago - Chicago 17

180-gram vinyl

Chicago 17 was one of Chicago's biggest selling albums in a long line of multi-platinum smash albums which began in 1969. Featuring the original award winning line-up of Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera, Bill Champlin, the legendary horns of James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walter Parazaider, plus Danny Seraphine on drums, Chicago 17 is undoubtedly one of the biggest selling albums of the '80s and also one of the most revered offerings in their huge catalog. Buoyed by the success of huge hit singles like "You're the Inspiration," "Hard Habit to Break," "Stay the Night," and "Along Comes A Woman," Chicago filled this recording session up with so many great songs, it could be its own greatest hits collection.

Further smashes like the powerful "We Can Stop the Hurtin'" and the stellar "Remember the Feeling" all truly make this fine album even more of a treasure trove of classic rock enjoyment.
