The Heart of Chicago 1967–1998 Volume II is the sixth greatest hits album, and twenty-fourth album overall, by American rock band Chicago, released in 1998. As the sequel to 1997's The Heart of Chicago 1967–1997, this edition also features a mixture of songs from Chicago's entire thirty-year career to date.
Contents
As with the first edition, The Heart of Chicago 1967-1998 Volume II is noted for containing two exclusive new songs. "All Roads Lead to You" and "Show Me a Sign" were both produced by Roy Bittan of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
Released in May 1998, The Heart of Chicago 1967-1998 Volume II was not as successful as its predecessor, peaking only at #154 in the US. Both editions of The Heart of Chicago are comparable to Rhino Records' 2002 two-CD package The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning.
