I had long looked for this album on vinyl and this year I finally could get hold of a copy.

Counting the first two albums with Eric Burdon, this is War's fifth overall effort and it's clearly their most acclaimed, even securing a spot on Rolling Stone's famed '500 albums' list. While critical acclaim doesn't always tell the curious a lot about the qualities of an album, in this case every raving review you will stumble across is correct. 'The World Is A Ghetto' shines all the way through, delivering six terrific jams with every single one highlighting the individual talents within the band, be it B.B. Dickerson's crispy bass on the opener 'The Cisco Kid' or Harold Brown's extraordinary percussion on extended jams such as the pulsating 13-minute mini-epic 'City Country City'.

This LP, released in 1976 on Island Records UK, provides a rich and highly dynamic soundstage, delivering the groovy bass of 'Cisco Kid' with the same excellence as the rather high-going 'Four Cornered Room'. It's a thick disc typical of the time, my copy bears faint surface noise but this is non-audible during the tracks. If you can manage to find this pressing, go for it! It's amazing.
