Sly Stone recordings for pre-Airplane band

Heard Grace Slick talk about her first band before Jeffferson Airplane. She said
that the band was so bad ,they couldnt play their instruments and Sly Stone taught them how to play everything and recorded all the parts for them.

Is this released ? I forgot the name of the band and if they released anything.

Might be The Great Society.

If they'd have waited about 20 years they might've been a successful Punk band. smile

I remember hearing that the recording sessions for The Great Society were a major motivating factor for Sly to start his own band, thinking something along the lines of "Shiiet if nobody else's is gonna make better music than THIS i'll just start my own band" lol
