Anyone will tell you that the U.S. version ... . Not sure if this import will be in stock at Amazon.com for long, so you should order it from amazon.co.uk instead, where there is a non-digipack version in print at all times. The original "flag" cover is used and the booklet is loaded with the original color photos and text. Best of all, the sound quality is FAR better than that of the awful CD we Americans have to suffer. Amazon.co.uk will only charge you about $$$ for the CD and less than $$$ for shipping. It's well worth it if you want to get the best possible version of this classic soul/funk album.

The Riot's Still Goin' On.......2002-04-25

Sly & The Family Stone were known for their bright and happy songs of unity like "Everyday People" and "Dance To The Music". They started to get a darker edge with their funk laced hit "Thank You (Fallettin Me Be Mice Elf Agin)" in 1970. For their 1971 album, There's A Riot Goin' On, the band turned even darker as the album is brooding mix of funk and soul that has a purposely muddy production. "Family Affair" is a hypnotic, loping song with a fuzzy bass line that became an unlikely number one hit. Mr. Stone was heavily abusing drugs at the time and there is a drug undercurrent running throughout the album in songs like "Spaced Cowboy", "Runnin' Away", "Smilin' (You caught Me" and "Time". The band also looks at the race relations in the country in songs like the aforementioned "Family Affair", "Luv 'N' Haight" and the slowed down reworking of "Thank You", "Thank You For Talkin' To Me Africa". On the original album, the title track is listed with a time of 0:00 which is telling. The band saw that there was a riot goin' on in the country, but no one seemed to have any time for it. The album became the band's only one to hit number one and was the last real commercial success they had.

Genius&Purpose.......2000-09-20

The Reason Why Sly&the Family Stone are The Greatest Rock&Roll Band ever is Simply: they are everything that Rock is Suppose to be about.the Messages,Urgence Reasoning,Questions of Surroundings.SLy is a Genius who had concepts way ahead of their time.the true Genius of Sly&Crew Reflects at how much they shifted Gears after their 60's output.this album is as Deep as Marvin Gaye's What's Going On,Gil Scott Heron's The Revolution Will Not be Televised&Curtis Mayfield's Superfly.in other Words Great Music with alot to Say.

paranoid, claustrophobic, urgent, ingenious MASTERPIECE!!!.......2000-08-22

THIS IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST SOCIAL/POLITICAL/FUNK ALBUM OF ALL TIME! UNBELIEVABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP!!! SLY IS A "TRUE" GENIUS AND THIS, (ALONG WITH "STAND"), IS ONE OF HIS CROWNING ACHIEVEMENTS! IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR COLLECTION IS WEAK! IT WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS MASTERPIECE! EASILY ONE OF THE TOP TEN ALBUMS EVER MADE IN MUSIC HISTORY!
