|
Ain't But the One Way was the eleventh and final album by Sly & the Family Stone, released by Warner Bros. Records in 1983. The album began its existence as a collaborative project between Sly Stone and George Clinton, a sequel to Stone's appearance on the 1981 Funkadelic album The Electric Spanking of War Babies. While working on Ain't But the One Way, Clinton and Funkadelic quarreled with and eventually left Warner Bros. Records, and Sly Stone went into self-seclusion and could not be found. Producer Stewart Levine was assigned to take control of the project, and do what he could to complete an album. Upon its 1983 release, Ain't No Way underperformed and marked the end of Sly Stone's career with Warner Bros. Records.
Both of Sly Stone's Warner Bros. albums, Ain't But the One Way and Back on the Right Track, were combined by Rhino Records into a compilation called Who in the Funk Do You Think You Are: The Warner Bros. Recordings in 1994.
