Condition: VG+

Open Our Eyes is the album where Earth, Wind & Fire's vision fully crystallized — the record that established the spiritual ambition, sonic density, and rhythmic virtuosity that would make them one of the defining acts of the decade. Maurice White's synthesis of funk, jazz, R&B, African percussion, and cosmic consciousness is already operating at a high level here, and the album marked their commercial breakthrough, reaching the top five on the Billboard R&B chart and introducing them to the mainstream audience they would dominate for the rest of the 70s. It contains Mighty Mighty and Devotion, two tracks that point directly toward the That's the Way of the World era that followed. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — essential for the Earth, Wind & Fire collector and any serious funk, soul, or 70s R&B library.
