The record


Title: Chicago - Chicago V
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1972, Jazz Rock, Brass Rock, Soft Rock
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. ā€œSaturday in the Parkā€ 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.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
