SLY & THE FAMILY STONE - A WHOLE NEW THING
new LP
REISSUE
Label: SUNDAZED
1967s A Whole New Thing lays the funky n powerful groundwork for a revolutionary concept that ranks right up there with the pioneering studio work of the Beatles and Brian Wilson. The tunes take unexpected, neck-snapping turns, and Slys lyrics are anything but your average pop fodder. And nobody used horns as effectively as Sly Stone! Sourced from the incredible, original Epic Records analog stereo masters.
A Whole New Thing, indeed -- the first album ever from Sly &The Family Stone -- and a record that would forever change the face of pop, funk, and soul music!
Even at this early point, all the group's best energy is firmly in place -- a mad mix of raw funky roots with righteous late 60s energy -- all served up with a lot more focus than most of the indie acts of the time, with enough of a punch to cross the group over to a much wider audience! Most tunes are short, hard, and tight -- and the album features few familiar hits -- which almost makes it a new discovery if you've only ever heard Sly's work from a "greatest hits" perspective.
Titles include "Dog", "Bad Risk", "Underdog", "Run Run Run", "Turn Me Loose", and "That Kind Of Person"
