I Am

Listen to this every day. Its a vibe

Well I'm five more cds into completing my Earth Wind and Fire collection. The cds arrived without a broken case or broken CD. They all came with thier own liner notes. So all weekend I will reliving the days of my childhood. Thanks Amazon for this amazing item from an amazing era from my childhood.

I love this album, I think more so than most EWF fans, as I've heard this album described as a little bit of a let down by some people. It's corny as all get out, but it is energetic and bouncy and makes me feel good. It has a ton of songs on it that I love, especially Can't Let Go, which is probably my favorite Earth Wind & Fire song of all time. There's definitely more disco influence on this album, but the songs are still stylistically varied. If you listen to the songs closely, they are very intricate and often have a lot of complex jazzy things going on. So, while at first listen this album may seem a bit cheesy, I think it delivers the nuance to become a classic for people who want something a little deeper.

I bought the 180g pressing of this album and sounds great no sibilance as its with most old records. Most new re-pressings sound great with no hiss, pop or cracks. If you like EWF, this is a must have album. I wouldn't normally buy compilation albums as they don't contain the "order of the tracks" as its in the corresponding original album. Most record producers put so much thought and effort on organising tracks on an album, this is compromised the moment you buy a compilation album. I'm not talking about the music produced after 1990s but the music in 60's through to 80s. The vinyl edition is the best format to listen to, with its warmer sounds, detailed highs and depths in vocals. Not that I hate CDs but I simply can't cope with its loudness madness.

I am (pun intended) disappointed that the vinyl I received is not clear or colored, as many of the posted images show. Many of the images and reviews state that the vinyl is clear or red, but the one I received is standard black. Granted, the item description does not state that the vinyl is anything out of the ordinary, but the selling plain black vinyl where the item reviews and images show otherwise is deceptive at the least.

Se escucha excelente!! Muy recomendable

If you were around during the era when Earth,Wind and Fire charted many hits throughout the 70's 80's and even this twenty first century.The afros,fringed bell bottoms,paisley vest,platform shoes,and much more.Once you heard a hit you automatically hit the dance floor.Singing and dancing at the same time.Spirit filled gospeldelic,funky,their music soothed the soul deep down.I personally have this on a LP album but once I saw it on Amazon on a CD i had to own it.I've been listening to it every since.From the first song to the last you'll be mesmerized.Purchase this CD and take the hippest trip you won't regret it.

Great album. Loving reconnecting with vinyl again. Been playing an album or two per night

Music is great but duplicated on other cds. I should not have purchased this CD as I have others of EW&F.

Sehr gute Qualität der LP. Zudem ein wunderbar analoges Hörerlebnis. Die Instrumentierung der Titel ist wie bei allen Earth Wind & Fire Kompositionen einfach bombastisch. Die Bläsersätze sind einmalig. Klare Empfehlung.

CD stupendo,degli anni più prolifici in molti generi musicali..ti riporta indietro,fa piacere ascoltare uno dei gruppi che hanno contribuito,se non inventato,il genere funky, è semplicemente stupendo, tecnicamente perfetto,una sezione ritmica, fiati e voci da pelle d'oca.. grazie Amazon.

EWF laid out an abundance of great classic albums during the 70s, 80s and even into the 90s but this one here's my favourite of them all. It's probably because it's the first EWF album I ever bought. I remember seeing all the happy people on "Soul Train" dancing to "In The Stone" back in the day and falling immediately in love with their sound. I got the record shortly after and have been an EWF fan ever since. 1979 was a really good year for music. As I suppose most folk know already, back then, EWF were the quintessential band, complete with vocalists, rhythm section and horns. I just adore the sound of Maurice White's voice. Philip Bailey's I can take or leave but I do admit the two voices complement each other incredibly well. The album had quite a number of hits: apart from "In The Stone", there's "After The Love Has Gone" - the full-length version with its fabulous sax solos in the middle and at the end - and "Boogie Wonderland", the song they did with their backing vocal trio The Emotions - who already had a very successful career in their own right, if only for a minute. (Their 1977 classic "Rejoice" containing evergreens like "Best Of My Love" and "Don't Ask My Neighbors" is simply unmissable, IMHO) Produced by White, every song on this disc is a winner. They are excellently produced and arranged, and they exemplify how an album is supposed to be made - all the songs flow nicely into one another - but I do have my favourites: "In The Stone", "Can't Let Go", "After The Love Is Gone", the instrumental "Rock That!" and "You And I". This is a great album to sing along to and it always cheers me up whenever I'm feeling down. This is also the first of my EWF albums to go to compact disc and it was a real struggle - I've treasured my foldout vinyl copy for almost three decades now - but I needed to be able to play it in my car and sadly, the vinyl just had to go. I understand there's an updated version of this CD available now, with new tracks but this is one occasion where I'm playing purist. I'm more than happy to stick with things the way they were intended to be.

Llegó muy bien empacado. Un disco excelente de E, W & F.
