SLY & THE FAMILY STONE - There's A Riot Goin' On | LP

There’s a Riot Goin’ On is the 5th studio album by Sly And the Family Stone, released on November 1, 1971, on Epic Records, making it exactly 50 years old. The tracks depart from the psychedelic soul vibes of previous albums towards a more political and militant feel, reflecting the politically turbulent times in the US in the early 70s. It was a commercial success, reaching number 1 on both the album and singles charts with the track "Family Affair". There’s a Riot Goin’ On is still considered one of the best albums in history, for example, Rolling Stone ranks it among its "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". To mark its 50th anniversary, the album is being re-released as a limited edition opaque red vinyl.
