Chicago - Hot Streets - 1978 - Columbia - Rock - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

Released in October 1978 by Columbia Records, Hot Streets represents a pivotal moment in the history of the legendary band Chicago as it was their first studio release following the tragic passing of founding guitarist Terry Kath and the first to break their tradition of using Roman numerals for titles. This 12-inch vinyl LP features a vibrant shift toward a polished jazz-rock and pop-rock sound, exemplified by the hit singles Alive Again and No Tell Lover, and even includes guest backing vocals from the Bee Gees on the track Little Miss Lovin'. Produced by the iconic Phil Ramone alongside the band members themselves, the album showcases the debut of guitarist Donnie Dacus and captures a high-energy era for the group that successfully balanced their signature horn arrangements with the evolving disco and soft-rock influences of the late seventies. It is a quintessential addition for any collector looking to own a piece of Chicago's transitional era, housed in its distinct gatefold jacket that famously featured the band members on the cover for the first time.
