Originally released in 1976, the War compilation album Greatest Hits contains a monster set of Chicano funky grooves from L.A., most of which forever transformed the sound of funk. The album includes most of the band's best cuts — such as "Slippin into Darkness," "Cisco Kid," "World Is a Ghetto," "All Day Music," "Me & Baby Brother," "Why Can't We Be Friends," and "Low Rider." One of the hippest funk, rock and soul groups on the Cali scene of the '70s, who just kept on making great music as the years went on!

Now with this 45 RPM release, plated and pressed at QRP, the best-sounding version of this historic album gives listeners an even richer sonic experience. The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately.

Clean, balanced, richly detailed. Just the way an Analogue Productions reissue should sound.

This music deserves to be turned way up, which you can do with ease on this double 45 from Analogue Productions cut by Ryan Smith, which sounds awesome. All the great cowbell your ears desire. It's such a great recording, spatially, timbrally and in every sonic way...It's a party record suitable for one person or many and this is the best sounding version ever. More cowbell please!
