NEW LP
New sealed copy. 2017 reissue.
Released in November 1978, The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 is the first greatest hits collection from the band and a cornerstone of late 70s R&B and funk. Produced by Maurice White and issued through his newly established ARC Records imprint, the compilation brings together ten of the group’s most iconic tracks and introduces three new songs, including two hit singles.
The Beatles cover “Got to Get You into My Life” reached number one on the Billboard R&B chart and earned a Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s), while the timeless “September” also topped the R&B chart and became a global hit. Both tracks helped propel the album to number 3 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart and number 6 on the Billboard 200.
Certified Quintuple Platinum in the US and Platinum in both the UK and Canada, the album has earned lasting acclaim for its flawless pacing and enduring songs. Critics have praised it as a definitive introduction to Earth, Wind & Fire’s blend of funk, soul, and pop craftsmanship.
