judging from sly's musical chronology it is evident his blues roots are felt as ever present but are set to a different musical context then his contemporaries of the early 60s. sly set about utilizing his various vocal influences against a background of his own musical (band) innovations....his coupling of the heavy bass that adds a tremendous bottom against the timbre of the horn section creates an aura of excitement yet to be matched in live performance...
Whoever wrote this should have locked the thesaurus in the drawer. Holy shit, is that ever hard to read!
I'm not at home rignt now to check, but I'm pretty sure Rock Dirge came out as a 45.
There's a 45. But it doesn't have the break.
The 45 does in fact have all the breaks heard in the above LP track (I think it may only be missing a few seconds of the slow, middle organ vamp. I have a stone mint copy of sale. PM if interested.
On a slightly related note i've been trying to find a copy of Sly's High Energy Lp. Whats the story is it raer? or am i a lil dude who just can't find it?

All High Energy is is just a straight double reissue of two of his lesser-known albums (I wanna say A Whole New Thing and Life). Unless you need to have it in this edition, there's nothing here that can't be gotten elsewhere.

There are also some Charley cds from the UK that have some possibly unreleased tracks;
AND has anybody checked the raer 1st press of the 'Fresh" cd? Crazy alternate mixes.
Yea, I'm wondering if the "alternate mixes" on the re-issue CD are these. The talk before was that these mixes were on the inital Canadian release (maybe Europe only)...not sure.

Someone posted this on the 'strut a long time ago. I believe he said he'd picked his up in Japan somehow. In fact, the way he told the story it sounded like he stumbled upon it.
I've got a copy I'll post tonight if nobody else does during the day. Is the alternative mix of Fresh being reissued as well? If so, would it be a bad look to post it?
BTW, it's not THAT cool. Noticably different, but not "better". I managed to get one when a guy returned one to the store I was searching on the day it was recalled. He said it wasn't the version he grew up with. Picked it up "used".
Which ones were released in Quad? I think I have Greatest Hits at home. I don't remember it as sounding that different. Of course, I don't have the 4-speaker set-up...

Yeah, I think you need a full quad system for a quad record to make a difference.
