- Chicago II remains a classic album, encapsulating its time (1969) in all its tumult and glory. The Vietnam War (and the civil unrest it inspired) was still raging, the counterculture dream had not yet crashed and burned, and rock music could be taken seriously as an "art form" while still generating radio hits. Chicago, with their then-new fusion of jazz, rock and pop, rose high on the charts, while taken seriously both in and beyond the rock-critic establishment.

The 1970 Chicago II album followed their 1969 release "Chicago Transit Authority" and rose to #4 on the Billboard's pop albums chart.

For their second album, the band dropped the "Transit Authority" from their name and became known as simply "Chicago" in 1970. Chicago II was the first album to carry their trademark logo.

CHICAGO II yielded some of the group's most enduring hits, which came from Pankow's suite "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon," emulating the form of the great classical composers from a pop perspective. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. With the success of CHICAGO II, radio went back and discovered hits on the earlier CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY album.

Now reissued for the first time on 180g virgin vinyl, this album is a part of Rhino's ongoing partnership with Chicago to upgrade their extensive catalogue - these classic albums sound better than ever! Mastering for these 2-LP deluxe gatefold editions was done from the original analog tapes.
