Chicago IX – Chicago's Greatest Hits
Chicago IX: Chicago's Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album, and ninth album overall, by the American band Chicago and was released in 1975, in both stereo and SQ quadraphonic versions.
Considering all of Chicago's biggest hits thus far, this set stretches all the way back to their 1969 debut, The Chicago Transit Authority, to 1974's Chicago VII. Chicago VIII and its hits, having only come out just months earlier, were considered too recent to anthologize, while Chicago III's material was overlooked for inclusion due to its lack of truly big hit singles.
Released in November 1975 on Columbia Records, Chicago IX proved to be an enormous seller, reaching #1 in the US. Despite 2002's The Very Best of: Only the Beginning superseding it, Chicago IX was also reissued by Rhino Records, Chicago's current distributor.
