WAR

On last November's Record Store Day Black Friday event, Rhino revisited WAR's 1972 classic The World Is a Ghetto for its 50th anniversary on five newly-remastered 140-gram LPs; a four-channel surround Quadio release followed on Blu-ray.  The hard-hitting, socially-conscious soul-jazz-funk-blues-rock-psychedelia best-seller was the California band's fifth album and third following the departure of vocalist Eric Burdon of The Animals.  Now, the landmark 5LP box featuring previously unreleased session tracks and "making of" montages is arriving on 4 CDs and digitally.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
