While the latter idea was abandoned, The World Is a Ghetto took shape as a creative juggernaut that lyrically confronts social ills, prejudice, and injustice all the while it's fusion-based arrangements blend Latin, Caribbean, and American styles with seeming effortlessness and total coherency. R\u0026amp;B, Latin, ska, psychedelia, funk, blues, jazz, gospel, classical: the album blends, boils, and brews them into a colorful stew. The group's robust percussion, curling guitars, soulful melodies, and hybrid structures serve one constant: grooves whose casual, cool nature drops you amid a throng celebrating at a summer block party.Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, mastered by engineers Colby Gustafson and Krieg Wunderlich, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents The World Is a Ghetto in definitive sound. The wide grooves, dead-quiet surfaces, and ultra-low noise floor on this reissue benefit a version that renders everything from the satiny brassiness of the horns to the depth, solidity, and grip of B.B. Dickerson's bass with reference-grade presence. As if unfolding within the frame of a massive proscenium arch, pianos, timbales, congas, bongos, harmonicas, clarinets, group voices, and more occupy their own space and extend far and deep on a vast soundstage.
