Product Description

War's self-titled debut album, released on March 1, 1971, under the Rhino label, is a vibrant fusion of funk, rock, and Latin influences that captures the essence of the era's cultural and musical evolution. Clocking in at 40 minutes, this six-track journey showcases War's unique sound, blending soulful vocals, intricate rhythms, and powerful instrumentation.

The album kicks off with "Sun Oh Son," a track that immediately sets the tone with its infectious groove and harmonious vocals. "Lonely Feelin'" follows, offering a more introspective look, while "Back Home" brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia. "War Drums" injects a dose of energy with its driving beat and dynamic performance. "Vibeka" and "Fidel's Fantasy" round out the album, each contributing their own distinct flavors to the eclectic mix.

War's debut is a testament to the band's ability to seamlessly blend diverse musical styles, creating a sound that is both timeless and innovative. The album's enduring appeal lies in its authenticity and the raw talent of the band members, who bring a sense of unity and passion to every track. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to War's music, this album is a compelling introduction to their groundbreaking sound.

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
jepuypay24 August 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
NliyzoxsYsuedis11 January 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

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!
