Sly and the Family Stone were an American rock, funk, and soul band from San Francisco, California. Active from 1966 to 1983, the band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk, and psychedelic music. Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing several of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have an "integrated, multi-gender" lineup. Fillmore East (New York, NY) Oct 5, 1968 two shows. These performances were recorded weeks after the release of Sly and the Family Stone's second album, Life, but just before the "Everyday People" single would vault the band to international recognition and incredible commercial success. The influence Sly and the Family Stone would soon have on the American music scene cannot be underestimated. It's safe to say they were a major force in the development of 1960s era funk and soul, but they would have equal influence on the likes of other musicians, including jazz great Miles Davis and rock guitar giant, Jimi Hendrix. The multicultural personnel of the band, as well as the inclusion of both men and women in the group, were virtually unheard of in the 1960s. The fact that these multicultural elements would blend so perfectly had far-reaching effects on both audiences and the music industry itself.(WV) Disc 1 01 - Life 02 - Color Me True 03 - It Won't Be Long 04 - Are You Ready 05 - Dance To The Music 06 - M'lady Disc 2 01 - M'lady 02 - Color Me True 03 - Are You Ready 04 - It Won't Be Long 05 - Color Me True 06 - Dance To The Music 07 - Love City 08 - Turn Me Loose 09 - Outro LINK
If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You is a 1970 release by Canterbury scene rock band Caravan. According to Allmusic, "If I Could Do It All Over Again contains significant progressions over the first album." It was the second album by the band, the predecessor to their best-known album In the Land of Grey and Pink. The album is known as the epitome of Canterbury rock, featuring representative organ solos and melodic vocals typical of the band's style. The album was released on Decca Records, as was the title track as a single release. This record began to define what became the best-known Caravan sound that was heard on most releases through 1975. "For Richard" (the 14:21 medley) became a staple of Caravan shows and was typically heard as the closer. A fully orchestrated, live version can be heard on the 1974 release Caravan and the New Symphonia.The album title and title of the title track is a quote attributed to Spike Milligan. 01 - If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You 02 - And I Wish I Were Stoned - Don't Worry 03 - As I Feel I Die 04 - With An Ear To The Ground You Can Make It - Martinian - Only Cox (Reprise) 05 - Hello Hello 06 - Asforteri 07 - Can't Be Long Now - Francoise - For Richard - Warlock 08 - Limits 09 - A Day In The Life Of Maurice Haylett 10 - Why (And I Wish I Were Stoned) (demo version) 11 - Clipping The 8th (Hello Hello) (demo version) 12 - As I Feel I Die (demo version) 13 - If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You (remix) LINK

Strictly Personal is the second album by Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band. It was originally released in October 1968, almost a year after the band had initially taken to the studio to record the follow-up to 1967's Safe as Milk. The finished album has been the subject of controversy owing to producer Bob Krasnow's addition of phasing to many of the tracks, which Beefheart subsequently claimed was done without his knowledge or approval. The original intention was to record an album for Buddah Records entitled It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper. (Strictly Personal's sleeve design is a relic of this initial concept.) A considerable amount of material was recorded for the project during the period of October – November 1967 with Bob Krasnow producing. Owing to reservations on the part of Buddah, however, the album was not released. Instead, Strictly Personal was issued on Krasnow's own Blue Thumb label the following year. It features re-recorded versions of songs from the 1967 sessions, with psychedelic effects added by Krasnow. Beefheart has always hated the effects, claiming they had been added without his knowledge; the album's fate probably had a strong effect on his insistence on a dry, unaffected sound on later recordings. 01 - Ah Feel Like Ahcid 02 - Safe As Milk 03 - Trust Us 04 - Son Of Mirror Man - Mere Man 05 - On Tomorrow 06 - Beatle Bones 'n' Smokin' Stones 07 - Gimme Dat Harp Boy 08 - Kandy Korn LINK
