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.

Small and detailed.
This is a nice addition to a library shelf. Size is about as big as a grapefruit. Nice detail and solid white. Shipped securely in styrofoam.

the perfect outdoor solution & very well priced
Color: Lake Blue
This is a beautiful & sturdy umbrella. i had owned a Pier I multi tiered umbrella ($198) and it looked great when I first brought it home, but after one summer, it had faded, the wood swelled to the point where I couldn't get it out of the stand & when the skeleton arm broke, it could NOT be repaired & I paid more than a few carpenters to try. THIS umbrella is a completely different experience from start to finish: well made, lightweight fabric, easy to unpack & popped right into the stand without tiresome effort: no ladders required. It does exactly what it’s supposed to: protects from hot sun & rain, tilts accordingly & I LOVE the deep teal blue that is very soothing in all weather conditions. The price is affordable and I hope it lasts for years. I’m a VERY happy customer!

Very large but lightweight and easy to handle. Good looking umbrella both fully open and closed. Does an excellent job of blocking the sun.

Easy to use and seems sturdy
Color: Aqua Blue
It’s perfect! Larger than or last one. Easy to set up. Fits in a standard table hole and base. The color is just what the dogs wanted! Everything is always so grey and dull! The turquoise really pops
