Yet no band bridged so many gaps and did so with such precision, vision, and skill as Chicago. One of the only groups to ever release a debut filled with such ambition, greatness, and enthusiasm that it got the go-ahead to make a double-album, the ensemble parlayed jazz, classical, rock, and pop elements into an eclectic blend that appealed equally to both mainstream tastes as well as hardcore music aficionados. The set also launched the ongoing career of the second-most commercially successful American rock band in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 6:35\u003cbr\u003e2 Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? 4:33\u003cbr\u003e3 Beginnings 7:58\u003cbr\u003e4 Questions 67 And 68 5:04\u003cbr\u003e5 Listen 3:22\u003cbr\u003e6 Poem 58 8:37\u003cbr\u003e7 Free Form Guitar 6:53\u003cbr\u003e8 South California Purples 6:10\u003cbr\u003e9 I'm A Man 7:40\u003cbr\u003e10 Prologue, August 29, 1968 0:57\u003cbr\u003e11 Someday (August 29, 1968) 4:13\u003cbr\u003e12 Liberation 14:44\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a virtuosic lineup that counted a trombonist, trumpeter, keyboardist, guitarist, drummer, bassist, woodwind expert, and several vocalists, Chicago peruses territory on its multiplatinum 1969 effort that remains singular in execution and delivery.
