Sly & The Family Stone Release 1967 Live Album, eBay Offer Rare Collector's Items

 


Experience the hip-shaking Soul sound that would make Sly & The Family Stone a landmark band as you listen to this new live album. "The First Family: Live at Winchester Cathedral 1967" is an album containing a historic early live recording by Sly & the Family Stone. This electrifying first-ever live recording proves the genius of Sly & The Family Stone was there at the early stage of their career!

Above is a vintage 1970's heat transfer which portrays the late great Sly Stone. In the 1970s, heat transfers for clothing, particularly T-shirts. This application of fashion became incredibly popular due to advancements in plastisol ink technology and the rise of iron-on transfers. This allowed for easy application of colorful, detailed designs onto garments. Back then, clothing designers went from transforming T-shirts from simple undergarments into a major fashion statement and a form of self-expression with cool heat transfers like this. 

Take a trip back to the 70's with even more heat transfer designs sold by 4-Mile Goods here on eBay. Visit my eBay storefront here for more Sly Stone collector's items.
