How We Pack

Your order will always be packed in a top-of-line box specifically designed to ship vinyl records—made from high quality cardboard built to prevent seam splits & corner bends.

Everything inside your shipment will be bubble wrapped for added bump & drop protection, with as much extra filler material needed for a snug, safe ride to you.

As an additional free service, your records can be opened to have their discs shipped behind the jacket to prevent seam splits. Just tick the box below the add to bag button.

Description

The World is a Ghetto was WAR's 1973 funk/R&B/latin fusion jam, which became the top-selling record in America that year. It features "Cisco Kid," inspired by the popular mid-century TV show, instrumental jam "City, Country, City," “Four Cornered Room”, “Beetles In The Bog”, “Where Was You At,” and the title track (which has been sampled in more than 31 hip-hop songs, including tracks by Geto Boys, Ice T-, and A$AP Mob). This release features the progressions of the two key tracks (“Cisco Kid” and “The World Is A Ghetto”), and alternate takes/reimaginings of the remaining tracks.
