During their heyday in the 70’s, they became one of music's most beloved groups with catchy songs like "September," "Shining Star," "Let's Groove," "Boogie Wonderland," "Sing a Song," "Can't Hide Love," "Reasons" and "After the Love Is Gone." They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, and this new compilation demonstrates why the group became the soundtrack for 20th century American life and their horn-powered hit machine represents the best in pop melodies, harmonizing voices, funky syncopation and rhythms of the world. This collection is the best of Earth, Wind, & Fire all in one exclusive bundle with 15 newly mastered CDs encompasing their astonising recording career on Columbia Records, plus a bonus disk of rarities, instrumentals and unreleased tracks. Supervised by Earth, Wind & Fire's founder and spiritual guide Maurice White, with each individual album is packaged in a replica mini-LP sleeve reproducing that album’s original cover art – with 16 great albums on 16 CDs! Included in the set are rare instrumental versions of "Let's Groove" and "Boogie Wonderland" (with The Emotions); Maurice White's unmistakable productions for Neil Diamond, Ramsey Lewis, Jennifer Holiday and Barbra Streisand; a 40-page booklet with photos and commentary by Maurice White; two unreleased tracks from the Touch the World sessions; two scintillating live performances ("Getaway" and "In the Stone") recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 1980; with all of the original LP jackets meticulously reproduced.
