Sly & the Family Stone Live Album From 1967 Will Finally See Light of Day
Nearly 60 years after it happened, the earliest known live recording of Sly & the Family Stone will finally be released next month.
It’s the earliest known live recording of the pioneering multi-genre, multi-gender, multi-racial band, which would go on to create such classics as “Dance to the Music,” “Stand!,” “Everyday People,” “Family Affair” and many others. The reels were rediscovered in 2002 by Sly & The Family Stone archivists Edwin and Arno Konings, and carefully restored by their co-producer Palao for this set, which primarily includes covers and songs from the group’s first album, “A Whole New Thing.” The CD and vinyl version will include a deluxe booklet with liner notes from the set’s Grammy-nominated producer Alec Palao, featuring exclusive interviews with Sly Stone and all of the original band members and rare photos.
