Matrix #: KC31102
Condition: VG (LM) | Members: Chicago (N/A) | Producer: James William Guercio
Cultural Facts:

1. Their First Single-LP Studio Album: After three consecutive double albums, Chicago V was deliberately tightened into a single LP. The shorter format helped make it their first No. 1 album in the U.S.
2. “Saturday in the Park” Came From a Real Day Out: Robert Lamm wrote the song after spending the Fourth of July in New York City's Central Park and watching the crowds, musicians and street activity around him. It became one of Chicago's most enduring singles.
3. A Band With Its Own Horn Identity: Chicago's brass section wasn't just decoration behind the guitars. James Pankow, Lee Loughnane and Walter Parazaider were core members and arrangers, helping give the band a sound that was instantly recognizable even before the vocals came in.
