There was no precedent for Sly & The Family Stone.   Sly & The Family Stone laid down a template that not only inspired an era of youthful rebellion and independence as the '60s turned into the '70s, but also had (and continues to have) a potent effect on the course of modern music in general. Sly's DNA is traceable to every cell of the musical stratosphere.   Back in 1967, this interracial, mixed-gender combo harnessed all the disparate social and musical trends of the era and burst onto the scene with their debut album and completely shook up the musical landscape with a brilliant fusion of soul, rock, R&B, psychedelia and an emerging genre soon to be dubbed funk. The sound was powerful, joyous and delivered all the things one hoped to find in music: the thrill of the new, the excitement of the unexpected, a galvanizing groove and lyrics that actually said something. This thrilling combination saw Sly almost permanently perched at the top end of album and singles charts of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, and saw his legacy as one of the most innovative artists in music history established.   Sly & the Family Stone's first five albums are collected in full in this exclusive vinyl box set, all LP’s are exact replicas of the original classic albums and have been remastered for incredible sound and sourced from the original master tapes. Taken together, these albums define the best and most important work of Sly & the Family Stone's career; anyone interested in the history of funk and R&B (or any pop music from the '60s) should have this music in their collection.

THERE'S A RIOT GOIN' ON
Riot is unlike any of Sly & The Family Stone’s other albums. Stripped of the effervescence that flowed through his previous albums, it is a dark come down from the late ‘60s high. What makes Riot so remarkable is that it’s hard not to get drawn in with him, as you’re seduced by the narcotic grooves, seductive vocals slurs, leering electric pianos, and crawling guitars.
