Chicago released their first hits compilation and ninth album "Chicago IX - Chicago's Greatest Hits" in November 1975 on Columbia Records. It was a huge success and hit No. 1 on the charts where it was a fixture for 72 weeks. 
This Promo copy of (PC 33900) is from the First Pressing in 1975 and is in excellent condition. The cover has only slight ring wear and along with the original Credits Inner Sleeve is easily VG+. Please see the pictures. The disc looks great and Test Plays cleanly and is also VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. It was mastered at Customatrix and this copy was pressed at the Columbia Records plant in Santa Maria, Calif.  The Side One dead wax is stamped AL 33900-1AH and etched S1 A8.
This album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve. It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture.
