The genre-bending Los Angeles-area band War is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its hit 1975 album Why Can’t We Be Friends? with a special Collector’s Edition reissue.
The expanded collection, which recently debuted as a limited-edition three-LP vinyl set made available for the 2025 Record Store Day event, released as a three-CD set and via digital formats. It features the original 11-song album, plus two bonus discs boasting tracks that present a look into the record’s creation. The extra material includes bonus tracks, a jam session, and unedited mixes, as well as a recording that delves into the making of Why Can’t We Be Friends?
Why Can’t We Be Friends?, War’s seventh studio album, was released in July 1975.
