The First Family: Live At Winchester Cathedral 1967 - Sly & The Family Stone (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a vinyl LP pressing of The First Family: Live At Winchester Cathedral 1967 by Sly & The Family Stone. This historic album captures an unprecedented live performance by the original Family Stone line-up just prior to their signing with Epic Records and a full year before their breakthrough hit, "Dance To The Music." As true pioneers who shattered preconceptions of popular music by blending rock and soul with both black and white, male and female members, Sly & The Family Stone became one of the most groundbreaking and influential acts ever. This fascinating recording explicates Sly Stone's genius through a tremendously exciting and atmospheric set of vintage soul covers, all peppered with the arrangements, motifs, and intoxicating energy that would soon define their ascent. For anyone interested in the band's legendary abilities from the start, especially with current interest surrounding the "SLY LIVES!" documentary, this document is required listening.
