MUSIC REVIEW & RECORD COLLECTOR NOTES
I love the group called WAR. Everything they released had value, their albums were always good. This is no exception. Besides a 14 minute instrumental version of THE WORLD IS A GHETTO, this was a great fusion of Latin Jazz and soul music. I actually played DON'T TAKE IT AWAY. Not for long, but I tried. On my scale, mostly because of THE WORLD IS A GHETTO, this album gets a 10.

I agree with the first commenter - I loved this album as a whole though a few of the songs I don't care for. This instrumental version of The World is a Ghetto blew me away when I first heard it in 1979! And I'll Take Care of You is an awesome song.
Although I still have this album and it's in pretty good shape, I have been searching unsuccessfully for years to find it on CD or digital download. None of the popular sites carry it. So most people of this generation probably will never hear it. What a shame.
