This will always be my favorite Sly and the Family Stone song, love it to bits!

Classic!

Am I the only person who would pick Fresh over There's A Riot Goin' On every single time?

I think i largely agree with you..

Particularly the outtake/alternative version.

Very likely their best song after Family Affair.

^ Hot Fun in the Summertime is their best song imo. They have so many classics.

Any idea, what does In Time song means?

He's telling the label that (2) years isn't long to wait for a new record.

Riot & Fresh are two of my fave moody albums ever. Would love to see a documentary or read a detailed book about the process behind their recordings. They're so mysterious and full of myths.

Me Too!

It's shameful how overlooked Sly is in the present day.

There's a version if Fresh with alternate mixes.. to me its MUCH funkier..

So far, i have listened to the some of those version but not all.

The outtakes/non-album tracks are included in the remastered versions of the album I believe.
