Limited numbered edition hybrid SACD mastered from the original master tapes. The Mofi version lavishes Chicago VI with a clarity, transparency, and detail no previous digital edition has ever enjoyed. As the first album to be recorded at producer/manager James William Guercio's custom-built Caribou Studios, the 1973 set features remarkable harmonic extension, terrific separation, and finely sculpted images. All of these facets and more are improved and further brought into balance on this SACD, which throws the septet's phenomenal interplay and skyscraping vocals into unopposed relief on wide, extra-deep soundstages. Chicago VI can be viewed as a perfect summation of the band's many strengths. While the extended arrangements are slimmed down, there's no shortage of horn-stoked rock momentum or head-turning jazz/pop fusion.
