Best of the "Best of Chicago" Compilations

Hi, I recently purchased "The Very Best of Chicago, Only the Beginning" It's a double CD on Rhino. I love the music from this period of Chicago but the recording quality of most of this CD is unlistenable. Can you recommend Chicago compilations to get that are of good recording quality? Thanks

Maniac Terry Kath struts off his bluesy guitar on the "IV" or the 4 volume "Live at Carnegie Hall". For performance reasons, this remains my favorite Chicago... you have to get past the poor miking and live sound recording shortcomings in 1971, meaning attempting to record mobile Live "electrified" instruments in a space like Carnegie Hall.

What I'm looking for is the Chicato compilations or I suppose individual discs that have good remastered sound since the compilation I just bought is basically so poor in quality that it's unlistenable.

Foster: only thing I know of then it the official "Chicago Greatest Hits" on the columbia record label, this came out in mid/late 70's, with a photo of the band on the cover "looking like a Norman Rockwell painting" You would know it if you saw it... This 'greatest hits' had all the singles from the early 70's, like "25 or 6 to 4", "Beginnings" etc. up to "Call on Me" from Chicago VII
