This is a copy of the cover of Blues & Soul magazine from 4-17 Feb 1972. I was 16 years old when I bought it.
It was the ONLY publication available in the UK that adequately covered Sly & The Family Stone's music. The " so called" leading music papers such as the NME, Sounds and Melody Maker paid lip service to soul and funk music and only gave the genre the respect it deserved retrospectively many years later
