Exclusive to the vinyl version is an exact reproduction of CHIC’s first single, a 12” promo for “Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yosah, Yosah)” that Buddah Records released in 1977 prior to the band signing to Atlantic. This was an especially important inclusion to Rodgers as he and Edwards always felt the bass and bottom end on this master was superior to the Atlantic issue.

The collection also features 12” mixes and 7” edits of smash hits like “Good Times,” which also happens to be one of the most-sampled songs in music history. The collection also features a newly remastered version of Sister Sledge’s 1979 breakthrough We Are Family, the first album Rodgers and Edwards wrote and produced for another artist. To ensure exceptional sound quality, the six-disc vinyl version of THE CHIC ORGANIZATION 1977-1979 was mastered at half-speed and pressed on 180-gram vinyl audio.
