Chicago reigns as the second most popular American rock group of all time, behind only The Beach Boys. It's fitting, then, that their 1998 gold-plus Christmas album, Chicago 25 produced by the E Street Band's Roy Bittan has become one of the most successful contemporary holiday releases ever. Retitled, remastered, and expanded with six newly recorded tracks, it's a heartwarming collection that's an indisputable seasonal classic and an extra-special jewel in the crown of Rhino's restoration of Chicago's landmark catalog.
