Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. There's A Riot Goin' On, Sly And The Family Stone's influential masterpiece of darkly psychedelic funk turns 50 in 2021.

At the same time, it was also a big commercial success, hitting #1 on the album charts while the single InchFamily AffairInch topped the singles charts. It's influence rang throughout the '70s as all of the funk innovators took their cues from this seminal album, and it's songs became a favorite for hip hop artist mining sampling gold decades later.
