Greatest Hits

Description

Very nice reissue on LP/33 RPM format. Chic's 'Greatest Hits', also known as 'The Best of Chic', is one of the biggest hit albums by the American R&B band Chic, released on Atlantic Records in late 1979. It includes the greatest hits from their first three albums: 'Chic' (1977), 'C'est Chic' (1978) and 'Risqué' (1979). The seven-track album, which omits the 1979 hit single "My Forbidden Lover" and replaces it with "Chic Cheer" and also combines three 7-inch edits and a 12-inch extended mix with three album versions, was the only compilation to be recorded during the band's six years on the Atlantic label. It reached number 88 on the US charts and number 30 in the UK in the early 1980s. Non-US editions dropped "Chic Cheer" for "My Forbidden Lover". The compilation was the first time the 12" mix of "Everybody Dance" was made available, having only been released as a promotional item.
