War - Deliver the Word 1973

 Deliver the Word is the sixth album by War, released in 1973 on United Artists Records. 

 

The album featured two singles, "Gypsy Man" (severely truncated from the 11 minute album version) backed with "Deliver the Word" (US #8), and "Me and Baby Brother" backed with "In Your Eyes" (US #15). A live version of "Me and Baby Brother" had been released previously on All Day Music (1971). The title "H₂Overture" is a pun on H₂O, the chemical formula for water.

A 4-channel surround sound (quadraphonic) mix was also released for the album in the 8-track tape format (United Artists UA-DA128-H),^[3] featuring a different track order, a reprise of "H₂Overture" with early fade-out, and an early fade-out of "Gypsy Man".
