vinylWith classics such as 'If You Want Me To Stay' and 'Que Sera Sera', 'Fresh' is one of Sly & The Family Stone's masterpieces. Recorded in 1973 it's steeped in the narcotic haze of political and social protest, but it is also an undeniably funky album. Elastic basslines, foot-stomping beats, eccentricity lurking around every note; 'Fresh' is a cool demonstration of why Sly &The Family Stone were one of the most influential bands in 'black' music, and 'Fresh' is one of the best funk albums of its era.
