Description:

The Collection contains 3 separate albums: THAT`S THE WAY OF THE WORLD (1975)/ALL `N ALL (1977)/ GRATITUDE (1975).
Earth, Wind & Fire: Al McKay, Larry Dunn, Maurice White, Andrew Woolfolk, Philip Bailey, Ralph Johnson , Verdine White.
The Collection is a three-disc package that houses Earth, Wind & Fire`s That`s the Way of the World (1975), Gratitude (1975), and All `n All (1977). These are the reissue versions released in 1999 by Columbia/Legacy, so they feature remastered sound, bonus tracks, and useful liner notes. It`s baffling that the label chose to include Gratitude -- a live album -- rather than 1976`s Spirit. While Gratitude is a phenomenal live album, it should be lower on a fan`s priority list than another one of the group`s studio albums. Regardless, this is a thrifty way to obtain a lot of Earth, Wind & Fire, all of which is compulsory. ~ Andy Kellman
