The Very Best of: Only the Beginning is a two-CD greatest hits album by American rock band Chicago and was released in 2002. This collection marked the beginning of a long-term partnership with Rhino Records, who would go on to remaster and re-release Chicago's 1969 - 1980 Columbia Records catalogue throughout 2002 to 2005.The Very Best of: Only the Beginning is notable for combining almost all of Chicago's greatest successes from their entire recording career up to that point, excerpting material from all of their regular studio albums bar 1979's Chicago 13 and Chicago XIV from 1980. Generally considered the definitive Chicago retrospective, The Very Best of: Only the Beginning has proven a lucrative seller, reaching #38 in the US - where it went double platinum, and providing Chicago with their highest UK position since 1970,
