Take Me Back to Chicago is a compilation album by Chicago released in 1990 by Columbia/CBS Special Products with the Cat. N. 21581 and the second one to bear this title; in 1985 a different compilation was released by CBS/Columbia with Cat. N. PC 39579 with the same title but a different track list (Listen; Free; Thunder And Lightning; Lowdown; I´m A Man; Prelude (Little One); Little One; You Are On My Mind; Take Me Back To Chicago; Mongonucleosis; Harry Truman). This 1985 release was issued by Columbia/CBS at a time when 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, while the 1990 release feature many track already present in the previous Greatest Hits. For the 1985 release, 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. Also notable is the fact that it featured almost exclusively songs by bassist and singer Peter Cetera, rather than a mix of material by all of the band's songwriters. By this time, the once prominent writers, Robert Lamm and James Pankow, who had composed nearly all of the material in the early days of the band, were losing ground due to the band's stylistic changes. Only two of Pankow's songs are featured on this compilation, and Lamm was credited only as a co-composer on one song.
