1974 US Original, Santa Maria Pressing With The Original Custom Printed Inner Sleeve With Photos & Lyrics. Nice VG+ Copy. "Finally, After Almost Half A Decade Of Serious Dues-paying, Earth, Wind & Fire Took Off Commercially With Its Fifth Album, Open Our Eyes. Ewf Had Been Delivering Great Albums Since 1971, But It Wasn't Until 1974 That The Public Proved Genuinely Receptive To Maurice White's Mystical And Unorthodox Take On Soul And Funk. No Longer Would Ewf Enjoy Only A Small Cult Following. Thanks To Treasures Like "Kalimba Song," The Gritty Funk Smoker "Mighty Mighty," And The Unforgettable "Devotion," Open Our Eyes Became Ewf's First Gold Album And Went To The Top Of The R&b Charts. It's Also Interesting To Note That With This Album, Singer Jessica Cleaves Was Gone, Resulting In The First Time Ewf Had An All-male Lineup." AMG - Alex Henderson.
