This CD is basically a compillation of old and new. The new version of "You're the Inspiration" is great. A little too twangy, though. Peter C. trying to sound country? I thought he was from Chicago. The new "Baby, What a Big Surprise" is also good, but only if you're open to a country-type sound.

I was excited for the new versions of these two songs because I thought they would be very similar to their original Chicago recordings. This is not the case, but the new versions grew on me and I dig them. There are a couple more new tracks that are classic Peter C. All in all, this CD is a good buy.

These songs are instantly recognisable, be it in a different format. This, however, does not detract from the quality or enjoyment of each song. In fact, dare I say it, better than the original recordings!
Not to be missed!

I bought this CD in the US a few years ago and lost it on the way. It took me a long time to find a new copy and finally got it back. Good if you are 40 and grew on the 80s and 90s.

No surprises here. I was looking for some Cetera gold and found ample amounts on this offering. Don't know how I feel about the reworked versions. He was the unmistakeable voice of a bygone era and has well and truly cemented his place in music history me-thinks. I'm not knocking the new songs but I'm always of the opinion..."if it ain't broke, why fix it?"

I knew what I was buying so unless you've never heard of chicago or seen a Karate Kid or Cher Film don't go there.

Happy Shopping. 3 stars for delivering what I paid for an an extra star for not reworking all of those songs. Fa'afetai Pete!

When I was growing up, my father took me on a several-day quest to find this record. Even as a young kid, standing next to him as he described "Peter Cetera doing duets with different women" to numerous unimpressed clerks was horribly painful. Somehow the actual album managed to be worse. Track after track of totally saccharine, lowest-common-denominator soft rock. Peter's voice accomplishes the amazing feat of sounding like a horribly cheesy digital synth from the 80s. It's just horrible. The songs are written competently in the pop mold, but it's just that what he's writing is vomitous. I have nothing against soft rock, I enjoy Hall & Oates and several other artists/groups from the era, but this just seems like a horrible caricature of the genre.

I love the words in the song. They have a lot of meaning to me. I wish the CD was in stock!

I really enjoy listening to this. My sister has the same album and enjoyed listening to this during a recent visit.

Peter Cetera is Chicago singing! If you love the original Chicago sound, you should own and listen many times this excelente CD: you will feel its the very heart of Chicago. I hope amazon.com has it in stock very soon.

Yes, this CD is a marvelous truly jewel.
Buy it. It worth till the last penny.

Peter Cetera is absolutely the best singer of the world.
