Open Our Eyes (Japanese paper sleeve edition)

CD (Item 601343) Sony (Japan), 1974 — Condition: New Copy

Spiritual, soulful, and oh, so beautiful! This record captures Earth Wind & Fire at a perfect transition moment – when they've still got some of their avant jazz roots, but are leaning towards the smooth soulful funk sound that put them on the charts a few years later. The whole thing's a wonderful mix of spiritualism and funky jazz – and it includes their massive cover of "Mighty Mighty", plus a lot of tracks with cool instrumentation, like "Kalimba Story", "Drum Song", and "Caribou". Great jazzy groovers, all of them! (Blu Spec CD.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
