This is The Collection to Get!

isaacmusicman

Now, this EWF collection is the one to get beacause ,in retropect,it covers the group in a whole. Unless you are a serious fan like me(who bought "The Eternal Dance" box set), this is the way to go. It covers ALL the hits, and even has those great album tracks I've been talking about. This is the type of collection, that even if you have everything by EWF, you still have to buy it because it's so well put together!

The Essential Series

By Legacy Recordings, eMusic Contributor

A selection of tracks from Legacy Recordings' Essential Series. The Essential Series delivers not only great hits but songs that are fundamental to the understanding of an artist and what their music embodies. Whether it's an artist like Miles Davis's impact on Jazz, Elvis Presley's contributions to Rock & Roll, or Michael Jackson's rhythm and voice touching the world, in their own ways they have raised the bar for what we consider musical talent. more »

They Say All Music Guide

Columbia/Legacy’s double-disc set The Essential Earth, Wind & Fire lives up to its title by offering 34 tracks of the groundbreaking funk band at its peak. All of the hits, whether they’re R&B or tunes that crossed over to the pop charts, are here, along with important album tracks that capture the range and depth of EWF. Since this focuses on their peak of the ’70s and early ’80s, there’s very little here that doesn’t qualify as “essential,” which makes it a better bet than their box set.
