War's The World Is A Ghetto heads to a limited 180-gram double vinyl pressing, giving the Long Beach band's chart-topping fifth album extra room to breathe.
Released on United Artists at the end of 1972, it went to number one on the Billboard album chart and finished as the best-selling album of 1973. The seven-piece lineup of Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, Papa Dee Allen, Charles Miller and harmonica player Lee Oskar fused funk, soul, Latin rhythms, jazz and blues into a sound that belonged to the streets of Southern California.
The Cisco Kid opens with that famous loping groove and a tale of the cowboy hero, and it became one of the band's biggest hits. The title track unfolds slowly, a haunting meditation on poverty and hope carried by smoky horns and harmonica. City, Country, City rides a long, rolling jam that shifts mood as it travels, and Four Cornered Room drifts into spacey, jazz-flavored territory.
Few records of the era have traveled so far, and its songs have been sampled and covered by hip-hop and R&B artists for decades. With six tracks spread across four sides, this pressing lets every conga hit and bass line land with weight.
