Recent collaborations
COMMERCIAL BREAKS
With their anthemic songs about teenage dissent, and featuring one of punk’s greatest female icons in their lineup, THE ADVERTS were among the breakout stars from the class of ’77 – and the unlikely chart invaders behind an eye-catchingly grisly Top 20 hit. But just as they reached a ferocious peak with their debut album, TV Smith and Gaye Advert tell Dave Simpson, “we were scrambling around trying to afford to eat”.

INTO THE MYSTIC
As they head towards the end of their most triumphant year yet – with a magnificent album, a series of stunning live performances and an unlikely nomination for the Mercury Prize – LANKUM tell Uncut about the roots of the music, the solidarity of weirdos, “doom yoga” and more. “Strange things keep happening to us,” they confide to Stephen Troussé. “But we never expected this...”
BUYER’S GUIDE
Though this year’s False Lankum saw them nominated for the Mercury Prize and broadcast live on primetime BBC, the band’s journey to the edge of the mainstream has been decades in the making…
DÉJÀ VU
As the unofficial court photographer for ’60s rock royalty, HENRY DILTZ shot everyone from Joni to The Doors. But his pictures of DAVID CROSBY, STEPHEN STILLS, GRAHAM NASHand NEIL YOUNG remain his most potent and enduring. Here, he opens his archive to reveal a trove of previously unpublished photographs of his most celebrated charges. “We never thought this was history when he was shooting us,” says Nash…
A Whole New Thing
Lighting up the ’60s, SLY STONE was the funkadelic revolutionary who broke racial boundaries, preached mind-expanding messages of unity and conquered Woodstock – before his life-affirming creative vision was replaced by darkness, drugs and isolation. Now music’s legendary recluse is finally coming back into the light. Over the next 12 pages, we present an exclusive extract from Stone’s long-awaited autobiography, hear eyewitness reports of his mercurial genius in full flight and – finally! – speak to the elusive legend himself. “The concept was music,” he tells us.
“Highon everything!”
In this exclusive extract from his autobiography, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), SLYSTONE recalls the band’s breakthrough in 1968 – “a year where everything happened” – and the aftermath of their incendiary appearance at Woodstock
“That charisma is fully intact”
Thank You’s ghostwriter Ben Greenman reveals what it was like to collaborate with Sly Stone on the book
Family Affair
Drummer GREGERRICO brought groove and pulse to Sly & The Family Stone’s musical revolution. Here, he recalls the band’s imperial phase – and their great undoing. “The challenges and intensity were big…”

“A very cool, powerful thing”
