There's a Riot Goin' On — 1971
Sly and the Family Stone
A murky, exhausted masterpiece that answered the optimism of the 60s with funk's dark night of the soul. Dense and influential. A radical, essential record. The second (or third) record that deepens the picture.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
