Sly and the Family Stone – There's a Riot Goin’ On 180g Vinyl

A cornerstone of revolutionary soul and psychedelic funk, Sly and the Family Stone’s There’s a Riot Goin’ On is a seismic, genre-defying statement that reshaped the sound of the 1970s. Originally released in 1971, this haunting, experimental album responded to the turbulent sociopolitical climate with murky grooves, tape-saturated textures, and deeply introspective lyrics. The VMP exclusive reissue—AAA mastered from original tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound—preserves the raw power and emotional gravity of the original. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl with foil-stamped packaging, it includes a listening notes booklet by Shannon J. Effinger and exclusive artwork by Jean Pierre Conseugra.
