Notes

Original copies have embossed, textured "leather like" covers. They have custom labels and artwork sleeves. Quadraphonic blurb on back cover. Gold labels, which state the name of the band, as well as the name of the album as 'Chicago', like the band's earlier releases. All Quad editions will have a gold label. Checking the jacket alone, the Quadraphonic SQ blurb (in small print, no less), on the back cover is the only way to tell that the album is a quad release.
