“Stand!” #22 5/17/1969

Here’s another case of the sides of a 45 being swapped - but in this instance, it didn’t happen for about a year. Sly and the Family Stone had “Stand!” as the original A-side; however, when it was reissued in 1970, this became the B-side. On the first go-round, Sly Stone asked the house DJ at a San Francisco club to play the song but it got a lukewarm reaction, so he added the funky break at the end.
