I found about this via the back door.
I bought the Stereo HDTracks album because I am a Sly freak, 24bit/44.1Khz 21 Tracks, super good and a twist on recordings. I'm what is this, it is great, so I followed the internet and found out it's a recent documentary. I'm gonna make some popcorn and get right to watching. But this new audio FLAC file is fantastic, just enough of a twist to make it new and relevant.

SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack complements the 2025 documentary directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson, which debuted at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. This double vinyl showcases some of the best tracks by Sly & The Family Stone, offering a perfect fusion of psychedelic soul and funk. In addition to the well-known hits, the soundtrack also includes seven rare and previously unreleased mixes and alternate versions, along with three new edits by Questlove and Brooklyn-based DJ, remixer, and hip-hop producer J.Period.

Looks like it is 5.1, so glad I stumbled on this.

His Summer of Soul doc was pretty peachy so looking forward to this.

EXCELLENT doc about Sly's early meteoric rise and fall from grace. Unfortunately, Sly, now 81 and reclusive does not make an appearance but his children do.

Had the privilege of seeing Sly and the Family Stone live in the late sixties on a double bill with Blood, Sweat and Tears with David Clayton Thomas. What an astounding show!
