The Very Best of Eric Burdon and WAR is the two-disc CD set that accompanies the forthcoming double LP (of the same name) releasing exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday. These sets are the next installment in a series of special edition products celebrating WAR’s 50+ years of music making. Pulling from the band’s first ever studio albums – 1970’s Eric Burdon Declares “WAR” and The Black-Man’s Burdon – there are two distinct tracklists between the CD and LP sets that each boasts newly remastered audio by Bernie Grundman, newly designed album art & packaging, and three newly discovered bonus tracks from the Avenue Records archives.
