    I am very surprised by how some shitty records have an incomprehensibly high selling price and this one is so low, better this way! The sound is very good, the various Chicago versions a gem

        Sounds amazing. ittedly, I haven't listened to the whole thing, just my favorite songs, but the quality seems pretty consistent throughout. So happy to have come across this at my record store.
