On the old PE we had an interesting discussion about Chicago, asking around what's worth it, and what's not. Bottom line seemed to be everything up untill X or XI is worth the time, with declining quality overall, and with the first 4 being the best.
So a few weeks ago, I was happy to discover this was just been released and I grabbed it:

It contains The Chicago Transit Authority, II, III, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI and Hot Streets. So far I've dealt with the first 3 and V, all of which I consider masterpieces, and Hot Streets, which isn't that bad either.
At about 30 euros this is a bargain! The liner notes are obsolete though, with all the albums coming in simple but effective minisleeves, but the boxset itself is really neat.
