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 called 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."
