① is a best-of album exclusive to Japan, including two new songs from their 22nd album [Stone Of Sisyphud], which was shelved at this point.
The Japanese versions of "Question 67 & 68" and "Lowdown," which were released as singles only in Japan in December 1971. The former was written (translated) by Kazuko Katagiri and the latter by Osamu Kitayama. The former was performed again with Japanese vocals by Jason Jeff at their Japan concert in December 1995.
And the best part is the long dance remix version (8:44) of "Street Player" sung by Peter Cetera, which was included on [Chicago 13] released in 1979. This is the first time the full version has been released in Japan. The group was in a slump at this time, but Peter Cetera's vocals on this take are outstanding.
② is a 1988 album[19], released after parting ways with David Foster after releasing the trilogy[16][17][18]. Chas Sanford and Ron Nevison were the new producers. As expected, the album had a stronger rock feel, but as Diane Warren's "Look Away" reached the top of the US charts, Chicago's image as a ballad band became more prominent in the public eye. This is the 19th album, featuring "Live Without Your Love" (#3 in the US), "Look Away" (#1 in the US), "What Kind of Man" (#5 in the US), and "You Are Not Alone" (#10 in the US). The 6th and 9th tracks also had highly polished music videos (PVs) featuring female models, which made an impact on MTV.
