Take Me Back to Chicago

"Take Me Back to Chicago" was issued by Columbia/CBS at the time the band was enjoying many hit singles and swift album sales for Warner Brothers, and consists of hit singles and key album tracks that (save for the title track) had not appeared on the band's two "Greatest Hits" albums on the Columbia label. Because Chicago had by this time moved to their new label, "Take Me Back to Chicago" was not directly authorized by the band and they do not acknowledge it in their official discography.

The album was issued on LP and cassette in 1985 with the following track list:

# "Listen" (R. Lamm) - 3:22
# "Free" (R. Lamm) - 2:15
# "Thunder and Lightning" (R. Lamm - D. Seraphine) - 3:32
# "Lowdown" (P. Cetera - D. Seraphine) - 3:34
# "I'm a Man" (S. Winwood - J. Miller) - 7:40

# "Take Me Back to Chicago" (D. Seraphine - D. Wolinski) - 5:16
# "Mongonucleosis" (J. Pankow) - 3:21
