Description
The CD Collection 1971-1975 is the five-disc CD Box set that follows the 2021 Record Store
Day vinyl exclusive featuring the same line up. This set joins previous releases from the
overarching ‘Collection’ series of special edition products celebrating WAR’s 50+ years of
music making. Sharing the same tracklist of newly remastered songs and brand new original
artwork from famed illustrator Dave Van Patten, The CD Collection includes five of the
band’s early classic albums, recorded after the departure of their former lead-singer Eric
Burdon: WAR (1971), All Day Music (1971), The World Is A Ghetto (1972), Deliver The Word
(1973), and Why Can’t We Be Friends? (1975). WAR’s signature genre-defying sound and
style can be heard throughout this stellar collection.
