Songs like \"If You Leave Me Now\" and \"Questions 67 \u0026amp; 68\" highlight their knack for melodic hooks and rich harmonies, while \"Alive Again\" and \"Happy Man\" bring an energetic, acoustic ensemble feel that contrasts nicely with their bigger horn-driven moments. This compilation offers a thoughtful overview of the band’s ability to move between introspective ballads and lively grooves without losing musical focus. This 1981 pressing on vinyl offers a solid listen for anyone interested in Chicago’s work beyond their most familiar hits.
