The booklet that comes with The Music of Earth, Wind & Fire -- a three-disc box that will slot easily next to your DVDs rather than your CDs -- lists the other EW&F titles available from Columbia/Legacy, including eight other compilations. Needless to say, a casual fan has several options, and while The Music of Earth, Wind & Fire is the most extensive of the bunch, containing all the notable hits (with the exception of "Africano," a number one disco single), a casual fan doesn't need to go quite this deep. For those who want to go beyond the obvious hits, but cannot quite justify picking up the albums from 1972's Last Days and Time through 1983's Powerlight, this is close to ideal.
