Sly & The Family Stone
There's A Riot Going On
180 gram gatefold sleeve reissue of the classic Sly & The Family Stone album "There's A Riot Goin' On".
"There's a Riot Goin' On" is the fifth studio album by Sly and the Family Stone, released November 20, 1971 on Epic Records. In contrast to their previous studio work with psychedelic soul, as featured on "Stand!" (1969), "There's a Riot Goin' On" embraces a darker, more foreboding funk sound, while also rejecting the band's successful melodic formula that was featured on their previous hit singles.
The original title of the album was intended to be "Africa Talks to You", but was retitled "There's a Riot Goin' On" in response to Marvin Gaye's landmark album "What's Going On" (1971), which was released five months prior.
"There's a Riot Goin' On" debuted at number-one on the Billboard Pop Albums and Soul Albums charts upon its release, while the album's lead single, "Family Affair" (1971), topped the Pop Singles chart.
After an ambivalent reaction upon its release, the album's critical standing has improved significantly, leading to its praise as one of the greatest and most influential recordings of all time. "There's a Riot Goin' On" has also been ranked at or near the top of many publications' "best album" lists in disparate genres. In 2003, the album was ranked number 99 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
