ICON Collectibles - a unit of Sony Music Entertainment - is proud to introduce its Canvas Album Cover Art Collection, featuring licensed reproductions of some of the world's most-recognizable covers from your favorite artists.

Sly and the Family Stone's follow-up to their hit record Stand debuted at the top of both the Pop and Soul Album charts when it was released on Epic Records in late 1971, and its lead single ("Family Affair") took the crown on the Pop singles charts as well. It's title is intended as a response to Marvin Gaye's question (i.e., "What's Going  On?") and the record's foreboding (but funky) mood and red, white and black flag (with suns substituting for stars, and with no identifying text) cover both stood to illustrate Sly's mood at that point in his (and the nation's) life (as Stone cleverly put it - "there are too many stars already in this world").

The record was ranked #99 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 2003 list of the top 500 albums of all time.

The original LP's back cover features a photo collage of images (done by artist Lynn Ames) that depicted a number of U.S. cultural icons, including another American flag (this time, with a peace sign in lieu of the stars), the Lincoln Memorial, the Gettysburg Address, Chicago's Marina City, and photos of musical friends including Bobby Womack and Buddy Miles.
