    Gotta say that it’s fine. It’s a little muffled, but these usually go for pretty cheap. Still an enjoyable listen.

      Glad to hear I'm not the only one to feel this original pressing left something to be desired. It wasn't that there was too much music per side-- about 22 1/2 minutes apiece, just at the limit. But if just didn't have any punch or clarity, almost like it was on CD before CDs existed. Someone told me maybe I caught the tail end of a worn out mother that was used to make the pressing. I guess not. Wonder what went wrong? Such great material!

        This album sounds good but not stellar. The same songs sound better on Chicago II and III

          My copy matches this description albeit the run off matrix shows P AL 33900 1G followed by a space - 1 and an etched T.

            The is mediocre pressing. Hollow sounding. Great track list, but the sound is has no depth.

              High frequencies on my Turkish copy Side B are all missing. The disc is a bit curved on that side. Could this be the reason or was it the result of a printing issue? Any ideas?

                  I have this LP with the same matrix and custom labels with a promo sticker on the front.

                    An excellent album obviously. My matrix is the same as those above but is on a red columbia label.

                      I find this album quite weak compared to the albums these songs come from. Maybe its just my copy? A great track list though.
