WAR The World Is A Ghetto (United Artists UAS-5652) RARE US 1st Pressing In Shrink MINT!
Original US first pressing of War`s third album, "The World Is A Ghetto" on United Artists Records (November 1972). Produced by Jerry Goldstein.
"War's third album was also far and away their most popular, the group's only long-player to top the pop charts. The culmination of everything they'd been shooting for creatively on their two prior albums, it featured work in both succinct pop-accessible idioms ("The Cisco Kid," etc.) as well as challenging extended pieces such as the 13-minute "City, Country, City" -- which offered featured spots to all seven members without ever seeming disjointed -- and the title track, and encompassed not only soul and funk but elements of blues and psychedelia on works such as the exquisite "Four Cornered Room." "The Cisco Kid" and "The World Is a Ghetto" understandably dominated the album's exposure, but there's much more to enjoy here, even decades on." - Bruce Eder, allmusic.com
