"If you like punch and a detailed soundstage, then the War 45 RPM version is your choice." —  Michael Ludwigs, 45 RPM Audiophile, YouTube video

Originally released in 1976, the War compilation album Greatest Hits contains a monster set of Chicano funky grooves from L.A., most of which forever transformed the sound of funk. The album includes most of the band's best cuts — such as "Slippin Into Darkness," "Cisco Kid," "World Is A Ghetto," "All Day Music," "Me & Baby Brother," "Why Can't We Be Friends," and "Low Rider." One of the hippest funk, rock and soul groups on the Cali scene of the '70s, who just kept on making great music as the years went on!

Now with our 45 RPM release, plated and pressed at QRP, the best-sounding version of this historic album gives listeners an even richer sonic experience. The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately.

Clean, balanced, richly detailed. Just the way an Analogue Productions reissue should sound.

Clarity and a dead quite pressing. WAR has always been a headphone experience for me. I could listen to "The World Is a Ghetto" album for a couple of hours. pick up the record needle and repeat tracks like "Four Cornered Room", "City, Country, City", etc. Would love to hear some additional WAR on 45.


A revelation

I had some War singles on 45 in my youth, and I recall thinking they sounded great on my el cheapo Montgomery Wards stereo back then, but this just blew me away! Some of the greatest and most memorable singles of the 70’s with sonics that show you how incredible the performance/production/engineering was. Might be the most fun AP reissue yet! Now, if Chad could just get the rights to Earth Wind & Fire’s greatest hits on double 45……


Simply astounding!

What an absolute triumph! These songs have never sounded so good. This will be one of those "sit down a listen to this" records that I will put on for my friends when they want to hear how good vinyl can be. I've never been let down by Analogue Productions yet, but this release is just so magical for me. I've heard these songs many times before, in many formats, but I've never heard it all sound so good. Amazing!!!
