Product description

War's self-titled debut album, released on March 1, 1971, under the Rhino label, is a vibrant fusion of rock, funk, and Latin influences that captures the essence of the era's cultural and musical landscape. Clocking in at 40 minutes, this six-track journey showcases War's unique blend of tight musicianship and soulful energy, with each song offering a distinct flavor. From the infectious groove of "Sun Oh Son" to the introspective "Lonely Feelin'," and the politically charged "War Drums," the album is a testament to the band's versatility and creativity. With "Fidel's Fantasy" and "Vibeka," War delves into more experimental territory, highlighting their innovative approach to music. This album is a must-experience for anyone looking to dive into the rich tapestry of 1970s music, offering a timeless collection of tracks that continue to resonate with audiences today.

This is a 2022 Reissue released as a LP.

Same Tunes as "All Day Music"?

Are these not the same tunes, not just names, as "All Day Music"? Am I mistaken? Arieh
War's Debut Album
3 out of 5 stars
jepuypayAugust 24, 2025United States🇺🇸
Pierwszy album wydany pod własną marką, już bez Erica Burdona na czele. Słychać tu, jak grupa poszukuje swojego stylu. Miksują funk, soul, psychodelię i rytmy latynoskie. To jeszcze nie ta sama pewność, co na The World Is a Ghetto, ale atmosfera jest: długie kompozycje, groove’owe improwizacje, eksperymenty z formą. Czuć, że to fundament pod ich późniejsze osiągnięcia.
Sound Quality Phenomenal
5 out of 5 stars
NliyzoxsYsuedisJanuary 11, 2025United States🇺🇸
The sound quality is absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't care less where it's from, it's just that good. Plus, the pressing is incredibly quiet and flat, just how I like it." (Note: The rewritten review maintains the original's enthusiasm, casual tone, and length. It also mirrors the original's informal structure and use of the phrase "I couldn't care less." The meaning remains the same, and no new information is added.)
2022 Re-Releases: Affordable Excellence
5 out of 5 stars

The 2022 re-releases are fantastic! The records are super flat and quiet, with a sound that's rich and full of detail. I'm not entirely sure which masters were used here. They might be the same ones from the 2021 box set. What a steal at just $20!
