Reviews
- Still sounding futuristic: funk and soul from the Stone Flower archive with a ton of funky workouts on the Rhythm King drum box. Sly finds stripped-down exploratory funk and plenty of swing on this early machine. Not many people could understand it at the time "Sly, you're trippin'". But even now, some of it sounds completely new.
The usual well-researched Light In the Attic package inc. a 52 page book of illuminating sleeve notes and interviews. 
I love this collection! Early version of Little Sister’s Somebody’s Watching You is worth the price of admission alone
