A Whole New Thing is the debut album of funk/soul band Sly & the Family Stone, released in 1967 on Epic/CBS Records. The album was released to mixed criticism and failed to make an impact from a commercial standpoint and did not chart. CBS Records executive Clive Davis prevailed upon band leader Sly Stone to create a more commercial album; the result was the album Dance to the Music.

  • A Whole New Thing is the debut album of funk/soul band Sly & the Family Stone, released in 1967 on Epic/CBS Records. The album was released to mixed criticism and failed to make an impact from a commercial standpoint and did not chart. CBS Records executive Clive Davis prevailed upon band leader Sly Stone to create a more commercial album; the result was the album Dance to the Music. Unlike later Sly and the Family Stone albums, A Whole New Thing was recorded live in the studio instead of being overdubbed and featured less of a pop feel than later releases such as Dance to the Music and Stand!. The lead vocals are shared between Sly Stone, Freddie Stone, and Larry Graham; Rose Stone would not join the band until they began work on Dance to the Music.
  • Whole New Thing är den amerikanska soul- och funkgruppen Sly and the Family Stones debutalbum, släppt av skivbolaget Epic 1967. Albumet mottogs positivt av kritikerna men försäljningssiffrona uteblev och albumet tog sig inte in på den amerikanska albumlistan. Skivbolagsdirektören Clive Davis krävde av gruppens ledande gestalt Sly Stone att göra ett mer kommersiellt album, resultatet blev det efterföljande Dance to the Music.
