V.A. - I'm Just Like You: Sly's Stone Flower 1969-70 (2014)

This superb collection tells the story of Sly Stone's short-lived Stone Flower label, an imprint the soul/funk legend used to develop his production skills in between recording the legendary Stand! and It's A Riot Going On LPs. In particular, it saw him experimenting with early drum machines (see the sparse, atmospheric funk of Joe Hicks' "Life & Death In G&A (Part 1 &2)") and promoting the career of his younger sister Vanetta Stewart (a couple of 7" singles from the aptly named Little Sister).
