This 1975 Columbia Records set is boxed and houses Chicago’s Greatest Hits on six white label promo 45s. It was never commercially released. Printed on the spine is: Chicago IX Chicago's Greatest Hits Demonstration – Not For Sale. A really exceptional copy of a rare item.

The tracks are:

All the songs are in stereo except the single version of Beginnings which is Mono.

These singles are all NM++ and have never been played. They are in crisp generic Columbia paper sleeves. The box is in excellent condition with intact seams and crisp corners. Just a hint of yellowing from age to the paper on the box.

This record has been cared for and well preserved in my own personal collection since its release.

Mint

The record itself is in brand new condition with no visible surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent or NM+

The record shows minimal signs of having been played with very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good +

The record has been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite visible surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Very Good

Same as above but slightly more visible signs of wear.

Good

The record has obviously had considerable play. The sound quality has deteriorated somewhat, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents show folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

Fair

The record is still just playable and displays considerable surface wear; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

Poor

The record may not play properly due to scratches, surface noise, etc. The cover and contents may be damaged or partly missing.

I have done my best to provide accurate descriptions of all records.  Returns are not allowed, unless the item has been misrepresented, so please read all item descriptions carefully.  I am a very conscientious seller and pack all items for shipping extremely well.  However, if an item is damaged during shipping, it is the buyer’s responsibility to seek reimbursement from the shipping company (either UPS or U.S. Postal Service).  I encourage the purchase of insurance for all breakable items.

If you are an international bidder, I am unable to verify that you've received the package unless I ship it via regular International Priority Mail, which is extremely expensive.  If you prefer that I ship either Priority Mail Flat Rate or First Class, you must agree that I cannot be held responsible if the package is either delayed or lost. I will e-mail a copy of the Customs form as proof that I have shipped the package, and I have never had a problem with anything I've shipped (100% positive feedback). You can decide which shipping method you prefer, and I can invoice you accordingly.

I will combine shipping costs for multiple items purchased, so if you are the high bidder on more than one record, please wait for an invoice from me.
