Delve into the beginnings of classic rock with the Chicago Transit Authority double LP, an iconic first album from the legendary band Chicago. Released in 1969, this vinyl record captures the essence of the era with its blend of pop, jazz, and rock, pressing listeners to explore the full-range fidelity of this stereo soundpiece. The record spins at 33 RPM, allowing for an expansive listening experience that’s as timeless as the music itself.


The gatefold cardboard sleeve protects this precious piece of music history, which is presented by Columbia Records under catalog number GP8. The vinyl and sleeve both maintain an excellent (EX) grading, ensuring that the sonic journey and the visual charm of this first edition, first pressing are preserved. Complete with the original cover and inner sleeve, this record is a must-have for audiophiles and vinyl collectors alike.
