Compiled by Alec Palao
Release date May 2010
Sixteen years after their critically acclaimed Sly Stone compilation Precious Stone: In The Studio With Sly Stone 1963-65, top reissue label Ace Records finally present the mind-blowing sequel, and it’s another Stone Smash!
Listen To The Voices: Sly Stone In The Studio 1965-70 continues on in a natural chronological path, covering not only the earliest recordings of the Family Stone but also the various outside productions this remarkable musician dabbled in, whilst simultaneously topping the charts with his inimitable blend of rock, soul and funk in the late 1960s.
The 25-track compilation includes all the singles written and produced by the prolific Sly under his Stone Flower Productions umbrella. The material by Joe Hicks, 6IX and Little Sister is in the same idiosyncratic style that made the Family Stone a household name.
Listen To The Voices also features fascinating and previously unheard stops along the way in Sly’s journey toward success, such as early collaborations with Billy Preston and the Beau Brummels, and pre-Family Stone recordings by Freddie & The Stone Souls, featuring Freddie Stone and Greg Errico.
The package also benefits from fresh, in-depth research into the Family Stones formative years, including unprecedented commentary upon the contents from Sly himself, in conversation with compiler Alec Palao. This is the most detailed interview Sly has given about his music since the 1970s!
