Sly & The Family Stone / Higher! box set: US-only bonus disc details

Earlier this month, we told you about a new Sly & The Family Stone four-CD box set from Sony Legacy which is due for release at the end of August.

Exclusive to Amazon.com, the US version of this set comes with a fifth bonus disc containing six more rarities. They are:

• 1. Stand! (long version)
• 2. TV Medley: Sing A Simple Song/ Hot Fun In The Summertime / I Want To Take You Higher
• 3. Time For Livin’ (alternate Record Plant mix)
• 4. Saint James Infirmary (instrumental) (live)
• 5. Sittin’ On My Fanny
• 6. Dust To Dust (instrumental)

Curiously, the 8LP vinyl box also comes with this bonus CD. European and other non-US fans are unfortunately denied this bonus selection, and will have to resort to the cost and hassle of importing, if this CD is considered a ‘must have’.
