If You Leave Me Now (album)


If You Leave Me Now is a compilation album by the rock band Chicago. In an attempt to capitalize on the band's second #1 single as well as its Top 40 follow-up, Columbia Records built a collection around the Grammy-winning single, which had previously been their only other chart-topper.
Since Columbia was the owner of the recordings at the time, this is an official release, but has never been considered a proper part of their numbered canon of works. While the practice of repackaging older works when an artist has a resurgence with another label is not new, it is almost always frowned upon, as demonstrated in William Ruhlmann's review at AllMusic: "At least a few people will mistake it for new product and take it home".
