Stone Flower was Sly's own label and he did a distribution deal for it with Atlantic ......... Sly & F S were of course signed to Epic / Columbia themselves .........

..... so putting out a few copies of his new LP on his own label may have been his way of 'winding' the management guys at Epic up (Sly was always in dispute with some record exec or promoter back then as he was high lots of the time).

The 'I Want To Take You Higher' book states that he made a lot of money from the release of 'Stand' and used some of it to get offices in Hollywood to base his new Stone Flower Productions concern in (these offices were opposite the big Capitol Records building). But by 1971, his label had enjoyed 2 x 45 hits (on Little Sister) so I doubt putting out copies of 'Riot' on the label were to raise it's profile.

"Family Affair" and "Runnin' Away" are two of my all-time faves and take me right back to school days.

And I'd really like to hear a longer version of "There's A Riot Going On"   :lol:
