  Artist: Chicago Title: At Carnegie Hall Volumes III & IV Label: Columbia Format: 8-Track Catalog Number: GA 30864 Year of Release: 1971 Country and Year of Edition: US 1971 Sell Price: $8.54 Sell Date: 6/1/26 Condition: VG/VG pro refurbish, untested, laminate on cover Discogs Last Sold: 2/4/25 VG/no cover $7.53 Low: $7.53 Median: $8.54 Average: $8.57 High: $9.65 Current low price: $9.65 VG+/no cover Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 2 Have/Want: 48/9 Where Sold: Fort Worth, TX Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought: Ebaly 8-track lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B Sad To See It Go: No The 4-LP box set Chicago At Carnegie Hall was also divided into 2 double album releases when it came out.   This was to commemorate a week of sold out dates at the esteemed Manhattan venue.  Although I had both tapes from the same owner, I had to have them refurbished and listed them in their "separate" listings probably at different times when the repar...

This album takes the listener all the way up to Steppenw...

No 70's child escaped "Moonshadow," "Morning Has Broken" or "Peace Train."  There is a deceptively simple greatness to those s...
