Album Review
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. The single-disc Greatest Hits remains the choice for the casual and the curious listener due to its concise concentration of classics, but anybody who wants a thorough retrospective should choose this.

OMG!!! WHAT!!!
by Lil Baby BooThis album is OFF THE CHAIN!!! It is definitely a MUST-HAVE if you are a true fan of EWF.
Great collection but a few tunes are missing...
by Its All Greek to MeAccording to the All Music Guide (Allmusic.com) this set should contain 42 songs. As listed here, there are only 34. Granted the songs that are missing were not big hits with the exception perhaps of Runnin' but why short change us by 8 tunes? For those interested, the missing songs are: Celebrate, Imagination, Jupiter, On Your Face, Runnin', Spirit, Sun Goddess [live], System of Survival
