Got a track listing? Because I might have some of this same material under another name...
I have "Seventh Son," the song, on another "early Sly" collection (from the UK), Precious Stone on Ace. It's sort of a Johnny Rivers-ish, almost garage-rock thing. Even though Rivers had a hit with the same song, Stone's take on this Willie Dixon tune is quite different...
Track Listings 1. Searchin 2. Dont Say I Didnt Warn You 3. Aint That Lovin You Baby 4. (I Just Learned How To) Swim 5. Every Dog Has His Day 6. Seventh Son 7. I Cant Turn You Loose 8. Take My Advice 9. Life Of Fortune And Fame 10. Youre My Only One 11. Heavenly Angel 12. Oh What A Night 13. Youve Forgotten Me 14. Yellow Moon 15. Honest 16. Help Me With My Broken Heart 17. Long Time Away 18. Uncle Sam Needs You My Friend 19. In The Still Of The Night
Yep, this is early, pre-Family Stone stuff that I have on other compilations. I like it, it's pretty good.
Going straight from memory, some tracks are with his high school doo-wop group the Viscaynes; some tracks are just Sly mucking around in the studio, around the time he was working for Autumn Records; "Don't Say I Didn't Warn You" isn't even by Sly, it's something he produced for Gloria Scott & the Tonettes on Warner Brothers.

How many "Swim" songs did Sly write? "Cmon And Swim", "S-W-I-M", and now this "(I just learned how to) Swim"....
