4CD - Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition Box Set Reissue. The Original Album + Bonus Tracks and The Complete Sessions.   

WAR The World Is A Ghetto was a top selling album upon its release in 1973. This set is a unique creation overseen by original producer Jerry Goldstein that includes the original album, and then each of the six songs from the original album in the original jam recordings, so fans can hear how Jerry curated the final songs from the original recorded jams. Upon its vinyl release last year, Pitchfork rated it an 8.8 (out of 10) and stated that the bonus material "...of in-studio jams suggests they might have rivaled Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters as one of funk’s greatest groups of improvisers."

Along with the release of the 4CD version of The World Is A Ghetto we will also be working to grow streaming on key tracks which will include "World Is A Ghetto" and "Cisco Kid."

‘The new reissue of a landmark album of 1970s funk restores the Los Angeles group’s reputation as multi-cultural pop savants and unstoppable improvisers.’ - Pitchfork
