The Complete Recordings 1961-1962 offers up Sly and the Viscaynes entire output from the correct master sources. The earliest tracks are drawn from recently discovered tapes and include the extremely rare B-side Real, True Love, the first disc on which Sly sang lead. There are also several unissued demo tracks produced by teen idol and Viscaynes mentor Gary Stites, as well as the sought-after Jasper Woods 45, featuring an incognito Richard Berry with the Viscaynes on vocal support. The package comes with an extensive liner note by compiler Alec Palao, with much heretofore unpublished information and fresh interview material from the group and associates, as well as commentary from Sly himself. Yellow Moon: The Complete Recordings 1961-1962 is truly the last word on Sly Stone's very first phase.
