Description
On this unissued first ever live recording we hear Sly & The Family Stone emerge fully formed from the womb.

Sly & The Family Stone were true pioneers on so many levels: black/white, male/female, rock/soul, the act shattered all preconceptions of what popular music could be and would go on to become one of the most groundbreaking and influential artists the world has ever witnessed.

High Moon Records is proud to present The First Family: Live At Winchester Cathedral 1967 — an unprecedented live performance by the original Family Stone line-up, recorded just prior to their signing to Epic Records, and a full year before their chart breakthrough with “Dance To The Music.” This fascinating recording explicates Sly Stone’s genius on a tremendously exciting and atmospheric set of vintage soul covers, peppered with the arrangements, motifs and intoxicating energy that would soon become familiar during the group’s ascent.

Interest in Sly is high with the documentary Sly Lives! directed by Questlove, but to experience the full impact of the Family Stone’s legendary abilities from the start, this historic document is required listening.
