Chicago II (Steven Wilson Remix) (CD) – Chicago

Digitally remixed – by Steven Wilson – and remastered version of this 1970 release. For the first time, a stereo remix from the 16-track multi-track tapes made it possible for Steven Wilson to bring out elements that were muffled or submerged in the mix. The result is a new stereo version of Chicago II that boasts clearness, punch and definition that it didn’t have before. 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.
