Notes
1994 - The first WAR project since 1983's Life Is So Strange,
Peace Sign was a return to the gritty Latino soul and funk WAR had become famous for.
Refusing to deviate from their roots, they prove they still have it in them. Whether
it's the mellow, Latin-tinged flavors of "East LA," the outspoken political prose of
"Homeless Hero," or the taught title track, it was clear that WAR still had something
to say.

Notes
1983 - This was War's nineth and last studio album, before breaking up
(they would put out a final album 11 years later). It is 40 minutes long and the sound quality
is very good.
This is a collection of 6 nice, rambling tunes. As always with War, the music is great and performance
is great.
The title song, Life (Is So Strange), is a very typical War track. It is slow and a little bluesy, with the East LA
influence. It would fit in with any of War's earlier albums.

Notes
1978 - The soundtrack to Youngblood, a film about an L.A. street kid
starring Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs of Welcome Back, Kotter fame, seemed an obvious choice for L.A.'s
ultimate street band. The selection of music would prove WAR's most diverse set to date, combining
extended Latin jazz-jams ["Youngblood (Livin' In The Streets)]," funky breakbeats
("This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good"), simple pop treats ("Sing A Happy Song"), short audio
samples from the film, and essential "chase" themes (the DJ favorite "Flying Machine -The Chase").

Notes
1977 - WAR's last Top 40 hit, Galaxy, came in at #39 and the album turned to a Gold
with it's 8 minute Latin - Funk dance groove. The other four tracks range from 20's era jazz to a ballad,
a female vocalist number and long melodic instrumental.

Notes
1975 - Why Can't We Be Friends was a welcome return to form. Continuing
a streak of highly successful releases, the LP would prove to be WAR's most accessible and
recognizable effort to date, spawning such feel-good funky hits as "Lowrider," (#1 R&B, #7 Pop)
"Why Can't Be Friends," (#9 R&B, #6 Pop) and the perennial fan favorite "Don't Let No One Get You Down,"
which would come to be an anthem for Hispanic fans throughout America. Why Can't We Be Friends enjoyed
a 31-week stay on the album charts, brought the band another multi-million-plus seller, and won praise
from both critics and fans alike.

1973 - In between studio efforts, the band released WAR Live,
a double LP documenting the dazzling dynamic synergy the band's concerts were renowned for.
Recorded during a four-night engagement at Chicago's High Chapparral club, the set includes
classic WAR favorites such as "Slippin' Into Darkness," "All Day Music" and "Get Down"
in their original long form, as well as the previously unrecorded "Ballero," a fiery Latin
jam that reached #33 on the pop and #17 on R&B singles charts. WAR Live continued the
band's commercial success, eventually selling a million and a half copies.

Notes
1973 - Following up the commercial and
artistic success of The World Is A Ghetto was not an easy task.
But Deliver The Word would find the band succeeding in the shadow
of its own success by focusing on the groove. "Gypsy Man,"
(#6 R&B, #8 Pop), a galloping tribute to their life on the
road and a hard funky reworking of the previously released "Me
And Baby Brother" (#18 R&B, #15 Pop) would ultimately
drive the album to sell close to two million copies.

Notes
1972 - Billboard's Album Of The Year,
the career defining The World Is A Ghetto would place WAR
at the top of the charts (reaching #1 on the pop album chart).
On the chart for more than 68 weeks, this album sold more than
three million copies and was the best-selling pop album of 1973.
Beyond the commercial success, however, The World Is A Ghetto
remains an influential masterpiece transcending musical, economic
and social barriers. Whether it's addressing urban desolation
in "The World Is A Ghetto" (#3 R&B), kickin' a funky ode to a
'50s Latino television hero with "The Cisco Kid" (#5 R&B, #2 Pop)
or breaking into an instrumental jazz-funk jam in "City, County,
City", this is WAR at the height of their powers.

1971 - A commercial and artistic breakthrough, All Day Music combined all

(#12 R&B) and "Get Down," the album would chart for 49 weeks and sell more than a million and a
half copies.

Liner Notes
1971 - Recorded while WAR were pursuing
a parallel career without Eric Burdon, WAR combined songs dating
back to some band members' pre-WAR years with newly recorded music.
While the album didn't produce the chart-topping hits their efforts
with Burdon yielded, it did solidify the signature WAR sound that
would soon propel them to stardom with such soul-groovers as "Sun
Oh Sun" and "Lonely Feelin'" (#38 R&B). Ironically,
the band would begin its solo career shortly after the release
of WAR as Burdon bowed out of the lineup permanently.
