...Streets represents a slightly new direction for Chicago. They de-emphasize the familiar script Chicago emblem on the cover, put their pictures up front for the first time, and try a different musical tack. They even use the Bee Gees for background vocals on one song. But the similarities are more important than the changes. Hot Streets is another high-class Chicago album, another platinum-to-be.

"It suddenly occurred to me," says Dantzic, "that I had no camera in my studio that could do that." After more than a year of inquiries, he found and borrowed the camera he wanted...
