What is a good Sly album to get?

I just got DanceMusicSexRomance in the mail the other day and have been reading it and I was reading how Sly was a big influence on prince ( except he didn't wanna be messed up like him). I wanted to know what would be a good Sly album to get?

If you can afford it, I would get this boxed set that has all of their Epic albums (except Greatest Hits)


It came out in 07 and I see it at some of the local Best Buys for about $50. Other places like Amazon have it for $60 or $70.

ALso pick up "Back On The Right Track" and "Ain't But The One Way". Some say it was Sly's weak period but the songs were actually funky and hittin'.

Another must have is Sly's 1975 "solo" LP "High On You". It's a killer LP. Never understood how it got under the radar.
