In 1993, Chicago recorded the album 'Sisyphus'. The band's label, Warner Music, refused to release it, and to this day the album has been shelved.
Unhappy with Warner's decision, Chicago left the label but in a case or irony, Warner will now release the album, 13 years later.'Sisyphus' will come out via Warner strategic imprint Rhino. It was produced by J. Geils Band's Peter Wolf.
"We wrote songs that were more experimental, songs that were more daring in terms of musical direction and chord construction, more than anything," remembers James Pankow, in a statement. "We got into really feeling our oats in terms of being the voice of Chicago again. It had been a long time since we had made a record like that."
Since their departure from Warner more than a decade ago, Chicago became one of the first major acts to form its own label and release independently.
'Sisyphus' has since been widely bootlegged and considered "an underground classic".
The album will be released on June 24.
