Album Details
Includes Bonus Tracks. 16 tracks.Chicago XXXII: Stone of Sisyphus is an album by Chicago released in June 2008 by Rhino Records. Originally recorded in 1993 for Reprise Records and scheduled for a March 1994 release, Stone of Sisyphus was ultimately rejected by the latter label, leading Chicago to leave Reprise shortly afterwards. Band management was negotiating with the label regarding a licensing of the extensive Chicago back catalog. When these talks stalled, the label apparently retaliated by scrapping the project. Reprise's loss is Rhino's gain. Listen and judge for yourself. A hidden artifact of days gone by anew again.
