LISTEN TO THE VOICES SLY STONE

Ace is proud to finally present a sequel to our much-loved, decade-old compilation of Sly Stone’s pre-fame productions, “Precious Stone: Sly Stone In The Studio 1963-65”. “Listen To The Voices: Sly Stone In The Studio 1965-70” carries on a chronological path, covering not only the earliest recordings of the Family Stone but also the various outside productions this remarkable musician dabbled in, whilst simultaneously topping the charts with his inimitable blend of rock, soul and funk in the late 1960s. The package includes all the singles written and produced by Sly under his Stone Flower Productions umbrella. The material by Joe Hicks, 6IX and Little Sister (featuring Sly’s sisters Vaetta and Tiny) is in the same idiosyncratic style that made the Family Stone a household name. “Listen To The Voices” also features fascinating and previously unheard stops along the way in Sly’s journey toward success, such as early collaborations with Billy Preston and the Beau Brummels, and pre-Family Stone recordings by Freddie & The Stone Souls, featuring Freddie Stone and Greg Errico. The package also benefits from fresh, in-depth research into the Family Stones formative years, including unprecedented commentary upon the contents from Sly himself.
