Editorial Reviews

SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack complements the 2025 documentary directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson, which debuted at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. This double vinyl showcases some of the best tracks by Sly & The Family Stone, offering a perfect fusion of psychedelic soul and funk. In addition to the well-known hits, the soundtrack also includes seven rare and previously unreleased mixes and alternate versions, along with three new edits by Questlove and Brooklyn-based DJ, remixer, and hip-hop producer J.Period.

    Saw the documentary and I liked how the current artist remixed some of the songs for the show, so since Sly passed away I decided to buy the LP as an ode to a great talent !

    Forget the negative reviews about getting a cracked case: That’s not about the music. Forget the reviews saying there’s nothing new here: Half the tracks are previously unreleased, and some have been remixed. And all have been remastered for this collection. There’s no filler here.

    This set flows perfectly and has been on repeat since it came out! Despite being over 50 years old, the tracks have a contemporary sound showing just how far ahead Sly really was.

    This is the best collection of Sly I’ve ever heard, and Ahmir (¿uestlove) Thompson did a fantastic job both on the movie and this soundtrack. It’s so good, I’ve bought several copies of all the formats for myself and friends.

    This item was sent I believe new as it was wrapped in plastic; but I was disappointed the albums were slightly wrapped. Not enough to stop them from playing properly; but on the turn table you can tell

    A great companion to the documentary. My vinyl arrived a-ok. No skips, scratches or damages. The previously unreleased tracks and the remixes are out of this world. Worth it for any die hard fan of Sly and the Family Stone.
