The message from Chris Smith rises higher:
 CS> Thus, on 26 Aug 96 at 2:57 AM, that Kenneth Newman said to Stuart
 CS> Dubois:
 KN>        75 cents. FWIW, the _200
 KN>        Mohels_ 8 track set me back a used copy of the first Chicago,
 KN>        _Chicago Transit Authority_ (which is an
 KN>        excellent album btw which I thoroughly recommend to everyone as a
 KN>        kind of cross between Soft Machine,
 KN>        Colosseum, Gentle Giant, If, and a few others, though with an
 KN>        American accent), on 8 track,
 CS> Awesome album!  Such diversity and progressiveness.  For those of you
 CS> familiar
 CS> with the hits from this 1969 classic ("Does Anybody Really Know What
 CS> Time It Is?", "Beginnings", and "Questions 67 & 68"), this album also
 CS> features a most excellent cover of Traffic's "I'm A Man", with Terry
 CS> Kath, Peter Cetera, _and_
 CS> Robert Lamm doing the lead vocals, alternating verses.  Lamm's

It gets more radio play than the original too, which is pretty cool,
'cause it's got that cool instrumental middle section.
_CTA_ is quite a good album, alright.  My favorites are, besides the
hits, "South California Purples," "Listen," and "Poem 58."  Many of
Chicago's songs were cut-up horribly for single release.  You get to
hear the whole songs on this album.
Speaking of Chicago, any word of any remastered CDs coming out for them?
I bought _Chicago II_ about 5 or so years ago on CD and the sound is
quite bad.
