that they left the singles out of that Collection box set is so irritating

well I didn't buy it I guess I'm not irritated but it is sort of stupid

I thought most of the singles were present as the bonus tracks on the relevant lps

referring to Everybody is a Star, Hot Fun in the Summertime, and Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) - all of which are key, peak-period works, especially the latter

Right, odd exclusions. Were they on the Greatest Hits set that came out in the band's lifetime? In which case it might be a bit odd that that wasn't included in the set since it has been thought of as a classic lp inits own right, obviously there would be at least some amount of duplication but it might at least mean everything was included.Not sure why they weren't stuck on as bonus tracks. Looks like what was in terms of singles was different edits of lp tracks that had come out as singles.

Those singles are on the greatest hits set from 69/70, whic got remastered and released after the other albums.

I finally got around to watching the Sly episode of Unsung on my DVR and I had no idea they'd interviewed on camera for it! Took me a minute to accept that was actually happening.

interviewed him on camera for it, I mean. Played little bits of new music on his laptop, too. Dude has discovered autotune.

His birthday is a week today, the 15th. I just happen to know that because, in advance of said birthday (happening over our March break), I played "Everyday People" for the class today. And then, subbing for a health lesson on substance abuse that we skipped to watch a movie, played a clip of him interviewed a couple of years ago.
― clemenza, Saturday, 9 March 2013 00:30 (eleven years ago) link
lol so do those come out every few years now or what
I stumbled across some alternate versions+outtakes from Back on the Right Track awhile ago that were pretty interesting. I think they came off some Japanese expanded reissue or something.

Yeah, what I read about the box was "nearly 25% unreleased material!"
Now, if they'd actually release the live album that was supposed to come out about 10 years ago...

i was thinking about it, but having lucked out with a previous sly gig at bb kings (i.e. he seemed actually engaged for a portion of the short set, so it wasn't a total wipeout), did not want to press my luck for what could turn out to be a one or two song guest appearance by sly. if i hear later that chaka dropped in, i will regret my decision terribly.

That was your interview.

It's the interview equivalent of "There's A Riot Goin' On" (the song).

He did a NY show with Rufus. It did not go well. DC show was postponed.

All I know is, if you're struggling with crippling drug addiction and mental problems, hanging with George Clinton and P-Funk is probably not the surest way to sobriety.

Yep, makes me want to go see Rufus. Saw some mentions that they had played with Sly in Japan some time recently. I guess that's noble of them.
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 10 October 2013 14:57 (ten years ago) link
I saw Sly onstage with P-Funk for a song or so circa 81 I think. He didn't do much musically back then either.

dude needs to get a neck surgeon or something. such a bummer to see him like that

he apparently refused to go to a doc after the accident where he first hurt his neck, so he's like a hunchback now
