Chicago - Chicago X - 1976 - Columbia Records - Jazz Fusion/Pop Rock - Vinyl LP - Used

Commonly known among collectors as the Chocolate Album due to its iconic Grammy-winning artwork, this 1976 release from Columbia Records remains a defining moment in the legendary band's career. This specific pressing of Chicago X showcases the group’s transition into a smoother, radio-friendly sound while maintaining their signature jazz fusion roots through complex horn arrangements and soulful grooves. The tracklist is headlined by the massive number one hit If You Leave Me Now, which earned the band two Grammy Awards, and also features the breezy, calypso-influenced Another Rainy Day in New York City. Throughout the record, the diverse songwriting strengths of the band shine, ranging from the hard-hitting guitar work of Terry Kath on Once or Twice to the polished AOR vibes of Mama Mama. This ten-track LP is an essential piece of 1970s rock history, serving as both a multi-platinum commercial peak and a showcase for the incredible musicianship of the original Chicago lineup.
