War - The World Is A GhettoThe World Is a Ghetto by War is a sun soaked yet streetwise classic that captures the band at the absolute height of its powers. Released in 1972, the album feels both laid back and razor sharp, balancing groove heavy escapism with unflinching social awareness.

The World Is a Ghetto by War is a sun-soaked yet streetwise classic that captures the band at the absolute height of its powers. Released in 1972, the album feels both laid-back and razor-sharp, balancing groove-heavy escapism with unflinching social awareness.

Arriving as War’s fifth studio album, The World Is a Ghetto cemented the group’s reputation as masters of multicultural funk, blending soul, jazz, Latin rhythms, and blues into a sound that felt distinctly of the streets of Los Angeles. Issued on United Artists Records, it became the band’s most commercially successful release, topping charts while quietly delivering some of the era’s most thoughtful commentary on urban life.

Musically, the album stretches out and luxuriates in feel. The title track unfolds as a slow-burning meditation on survival and resilience, while The Cisco Kid adds playful swagger and storytelling charm. Four Cornered Room leans introspective and moody, and Be Thankful For What You Got closes the set with gentle optimism and reflective grace. Throughout, harmonica, congas, and fluid basslines create a warm, enveloping atmosphere that never rushes its message.

On vinyl, The World Is a Ghetto breathes exactly as intended, letting the extended grooves and subtle dynamics fully bloom. It remains a defining statement of 1970s funk with depth, heart, and timeless relevance, a record that still sounds like real life spinning at 33 RPM.

Pretty good
Fits according to size guide but I would have liked a slimmer fit. Also there are no pictures of the back of the jacket and it does have details we are not crazy about. Decent for the price

Great suit!
Color: Dark Green, Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Green, Size: X-Large
Great suit combo and for a great price. Bought this for a wizard of oz themed fundraiser for my hubby who went as the wizard. Received many compliments! My husband is 6’ 2”, about 230, and this is an XL, so it runs really slim. He has a long torso, and his pant length is 30”, so the pants are a little long, but easily fixed! Highly recommend!
