Sly and The Family Stone still count as one of the most innovative groups popular music has ever known. Starting in 1966, their sound was a
unique, unknown fusion of soul, jazz, rock, R&B and psychedelia. Covering the entire discography of Sly & The Family Stone this book is a complete
career overview, from the first gospel recording by the Stewart Four, through to the recently released box set, as well as each members
solo work in the years before and since, illustrated with vinyl releases from all over the world. As a special bonus, the first 1000 copies of the book come with a 45rpm reproduction of the hyper-rare Stewart Four 78rpm from 1952.
George Clinton, Parliament, Funkadelic and their various offshoots mixed funk and soul with psychedelia to devastating effect. What began in the mid-1950s as doo-wopping pals singing on the street corner morphed over the next two decades into a wild melange of topnotch musicianship, wild lyrics and outlandish conceptualism. P-Funk was and is a crucial stage in the development of funk, soul and black American pop culture. The book covers the entire discography of George Clinton and associated P-Funk acts. It offers a complete career overview, from the first doo-wop recordings of the Parliaments up to the most recent releases of 2013. Beside the mainstays Parliament and Funkadelic, each members solo work
is covered. Illustrated with a plethora of vinyl, compact discs, photos and posters, its a unique collection covered in a single book, eagerly
awaited by P-Funk fans all over the globe.
