Contents

Spanning from Chicago 16 in 1982 to Chicago 19 in 1988, the set includes founding vocalist Peter Cetera and his successor Jason Scheff. It includes a remix of "What Kind of Man Would I Be?", as well as also being Chicago's last release before the dismissal of its original drummer Danny Seraphine in the following year after its release.

A variation titled The Heart of... Chicago was issued in countries outside North America, with similar artwork but a different track list including four songs originally released on the Columbia record label.
