Stand is the pinnacle of Sly the Family Stone s early work, a record that represents a culmination of the group s musical vision and accomplishment. Life hinted at this record s boundless enthusiasm and blurred stylistic boundaries, yet everything simply gels here, resulting in no separation between the astounding funk, effervescent irresistible melodies, psychedelicized guitars, and deep rhythms. Add to this a sharpened sense of pop songcraft, elastic band interplay, and a flowering of Sly s social consciousness, and the result is utterly stunning. Yes, the jams Don t Call Me Nigger, Whitey, Sex Machine wind up meandering ever so slightly, but they re surrounded by utter brilliance, from the rousing call to arms of Stand to the unification anthem Everyday People to the unstoppable I Want to Take You Higher. All of it sounds like the Family Stone, thanks not just to the communal lead vocals but to the brilliant interplay, but each track is distinct, emphasizing a different side of their musical personality. As a result, Stand winds up infectious and informative, invigorating and thought-provoking -- stimulating in every sense of the word. Few records of its time touched it, and Sly topped it only by offering its opposite the next time out.

CONDITION:

RECORD

IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight

a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions mostly sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

b The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

c The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording

a Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording

COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD .

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

- Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 1 front side and 2 back side .
