War "The World is a Ghetto"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Warner Rhino, World, 1922, 0603497844920, Reissue

Released in late 1972, War’s fifth studio album, The World Is a Ghetto, is a slow-burning classic of progressive soul and multicultural funk. Stepping completely out of the shadow of their former frontman Eric Burdon, the seven-piece Southern California ensemble created a record that balances gritty urban social commentary with breezy, jam-centric optimism. It ultimately became Billboard's top-charting album of 1973, cementing its place alongside masterpieces like Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Curtis Mayfield's Curtis.
