Wow on Fresh! Not that far removed from Prince. Read that over his career he played nearly half of this album in concert including “In Time”, “If You Want Me To Stay”, “Thankful ‘N Thoughtful”, and “Babies Makin’ Babies”. That he made so much of this album alone seems very Prince-like. Thanks for sharing, sir.

Many more excellent albums there as well. :)
“Then, from the time of Sly and the Family Stone’s Fresh album, there’s a flip over, where the rhythm instruments, particularly the bass drum and bass, suddenly become the important instruments in the mix.” - Brian Eno, 1979.
In the August 1992 issue of Modern Drummer, listed as one of “The 25 Greatest Drum Records”, just after Close to the Edge.
Thanks again for sharing :)
Always a fan of Panorama. Recall reviews favorably compared it to the band Suicide. Of course, that meant nothing to me at the time. Now, i see it. Lol.
Actually didn't like "Panorama" at all when released. I love it now. More than the records that followed.
Max Champion was the best! I have some 78s of his music hall best. Very rare! :)
