Does anybody wanna share their thoughts on Earth Wind & Fire? If you grew up in the 70s,you are familiar with their music.They were so HOT during 1975-79,probably the biggest Black band of the era.

In recent years,Earth Wind and Fire have been remastering most of their old albums.Each CD comes with previously unreleased bonus tracks,extensive liner notes,the original album artwork,printed lyrics,and the sound quality is incredible!!! So far,these are the CDs that have been remastered:

***'Open Our Eyes'(1974)---You guys should hear the bonus track "Ain't No Harm To Moan"....it's just Maurice White at the piano playing a "spontaneous" tune that sounds great!!

***'That's The Way If The World'(1975)---

***'Gratitude'(1975)---Contains a bonus medley of songs recorded for a 1978 Natalie Cole TV special.

***'Spirit'(1976)---The bonus track "Seraphim" is a real gem,as is the alternate mix of "Saturday Night".

***'All N'All(1977)---

***'The Best of EW&F Vol.1(1978)---Contains two bonus "Megamixes" that would sound great in a nightclub.

***'The Best of EW&F Vol.2'(1988)---


Currently,the albums 'I Am'(1979) and 'Faces'(1980) are being remastered and are due later this year.
