If the set comes with mono, I think I'll pass.... I just got over a horrible cold that knocked me out flat for a week and a half.... ------------- Live in stereo. |

Even though two or three of these mono singles have been
previously issued on CD, I might just get this box. ------------- |

Thanks, Brian... I definitely am back to 100% now (or close to it, anyway).... strange weather patterns coupled with working outside a lot doesn't seem to help anything.... ------------- Live in stereo. |

| There is a single CD "sampler" also being released with several of the mono single mixes including "Everyday People" which is the one I've been waiting for. |

| Ah, thanks for reporting another intriguing new CD release, Indy500! According to Amazon, this single disc version of Sly & the Family Stone's Higher won't be available for sale until 8/27. Still, I look forward to picking up this compilation since this will be a far less expensive way to acquire the band's remaining Top 40 singles that I don't yet have in their mono 45 form than purchasing the 4-CD box set. |

I was thrilled to see a single disc release. Personally I don't need 4 discs of Sly & the Family Stone. But I really wanted the mono "Everyday People" on CD. How does one make a 1969 comp without that song?
