Sly & The Family Stone – Fresh
@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review!
Title: Sly & The Family Stone – Fresh
Year/Genre: 1973, Funk / Soul
Condition: VG+
Cultural Facts:
-
Studio Lore: Made during Sly’s reclusive, paranoid studio phase—sessions ran late and fragmented as the band’s unity started breaking down.
-
Band Drama: The “Family” ideal was collapsing behind the scenes; tensions over control and direction were turning a collective into factions.
-
Political Science: It landed in a post-civil-rights comedown mood—less utopian messaging, more weariness and suspicion in how the era read Sly.
