I think i'll pick up these remasters at some point. Hopefully cheap in FOPP! -- Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 15:35 (3 weeks ago) Bookmark Link
And... GO! (£5)
I did revive that Mssr Fopp thread, but anyway..
The "Riot" CD sounds very clean/crisp. Was this a dramatic improvement over the original LP?
And where next should I go? Assuming the other cds are still there...
― Mark G, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 09:55 (seventeen years ago) link
... oh just buy all of them, keep Sly well, errrrrrrrrrrr, supplied
― Tom D., Tuesday, 29 May 2007 09:59 (seventeen years ago) link
i'd say Fresh is the next step. but they're all good.

Stand! and A Whole New Thing are musts.
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link
I finally heard A Whole New Thing for the first time over the holiday weekend and holy shit! it's so good. Glad it's finally readily available, I'd never even seen it in a record store until these reissues came out.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link
picked up the 2007 remasters recently as several shops are clearly trying to clear backstock.are these going to continue to be available, as the implication on amazon etc, is that these remasters are limited editions, and so once they are gone, then thats it ? oh, and they are all brilliant.absolutely brilliant. suspect my next few weeks/months are going to be block booked while i just soak them up.looking forward to reading the new interview in this months mojo. anyone read it ?

Yeah, he seems quite together in it.
― Mark G, Thursday, 28 January 2010 15:03 (fourteen years ago) link
hurray.was worried the article would be a bit of fluff and little more.love the fact that sooo many sample sources have revealed themselves as i make my way through these albums for the first time.
― mark e, Thursday, 28 January 2010 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
The Essential Sly Stone is a very handy collection. It's got every track from Fresh and Riot.

The Essential Sly Stone is a very handy collection. It's got every track from Fresh and Riot.I'll bet it's even got "Thank You" and "Hot Fun in the Summertime," unlike any of the 2007 reissues.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 28 January 2010 17:16 (fourteen years ago) link
i think they reissued the classic 'greatest hits' too, but yeah, its mostly superfluous if you own the other reissues.
― ALIAS: Pete Townshend (stevie), Thursday, 28 January 2010 17:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Really? It wasn't in the box that had them all collected together.I don't think that those single tracks are superfluous, either.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 28 January 2010 17:19 (fourteen years ago) link
don't know if it was in the box, but it was definitely reissued, with the same nice packaging as the albums i believe. i've had my old copy for years, it might be the best 'greatest hits' i've ever heard.
― ALIAS: Pete Townshend (stevie), Thursday, 28 January 2010 17:22 (fourteen years ago) link
that Greatest Hits is really something, he had a bunch of key non-album tracks (other one is "Everybody is a Star", yeah?)
― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 28 January 2010 17:24 (fourteen years ago) link
They did reissue Greatest Hits; Sly's greatest record. Even if you own all the constituent parts, I'd recommend getting it - there's something fucking awesome about that sequencing.

madness, record is so happy
― cholula bankhead (m bison), Thursday, 28 January 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost yeah it is probably one of the best greatest hits out there. and i agree, the essential is one of the few of those "essential" comps where you look at the tracklisting and say, "yep, they pretty much got it all ..." Remastering is phenomenal as well ...

esp that siren-like guitar break at about 00.05
exactly!! every1 in the band recording that must have had gigantic boners or something, incredible energy
― cholula bankhead (m bison), Thursday, 28 January 2010 18:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, as I say, that "Greatest Hits" is £3 in Fopp.

That is great. And yes, Fresh is #1.

yet I love that Small Talk sleeve.
― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 December 2018 13:24 (five years ago) link
I think "High On You" is better than "Small Talk"? I'd have to re-listen.

A Whole New Thing doesn't get enough love, and "I Cannot Make It" is one of the best things they ever did.
