how could The Electric Spanking...get zero votes??

or uncle jam
yet america eats its young gets 5

Anyway I can't wait to get Toys This was supposed to be out years ago.

Did anyone get the eddie hazel demos cd from cd baby? I wasn't paying them $50+ postage. Cd Babyrip-off more like.

http://cdbaby.com/cd/eddiehazel

Now they're charging $35 for cd and $35 for mp3s. What a rip off label. The sound quality is apparently appalling too. Disgusting.

How the hell did America Eats its Young beat Cosmic Slop? "America..." is very uncosmic-slop, meaning its four discs of garbage.

ilm contrariness

I will have to get one of my CDBaby buddies to hook me up with this. It's not like Hazel needs the money.

I'm bummed because the first time I saw P-Funk was about a year after Hazel passed. Still, the kid who did Maggot Brain that night nailed it note for note... it was fucking epic.

And for the record--MAGGOT BRAIN. Were they ever more metal? I spin "Super Stupid" in my metal sets all the time and people get stoked. It works great back to back with the Nuge, Stooges, Alice Cooper, Mountain, Scorpions...

was it mike hampton? hes been in funkadelic since 75 or something.
I want to hear that eddie hazel desperately but not $35 + postage desperately. If the sound quality was ok i would, but cant find mp3s anywhere.

whoah - thx for the heads up about the Toys release!! had not heard about that before

maggon brain, fuck yeah.. justice has been deserved..

The above no doubt explains the wrongness of the poll result. But TOYS! Whoah.

"was it mike hampton? hes been in funkadelic since 75 or something."

I kinda doubt it. This was in '94 and the kid looked pretty young... but I don't really know my P-Funk lore so I dunno for sure.

Chaki would know who it was

So it was just a kid and not the Kidd.

I wish this album was out now and not end of october.

It's been wishlisted on my s1sk since 2002 I think.

I may have found m4p files of the eddie hazel. Does that mean theyre password protected?

Bill you should read the Chuck Eddy thread on America Eats Its Young.

ah here it is

er Mark s not chuck

I just pulled down By Way of the Drum b/c of this thread and holy shit is "Freaks Bearing Gifts" good.

"was it mike hampton? hes been in funkadelic since 75 or something

Blackbird McNight, maybe? (Great name!)

Itunes has Eddie Hazel - At Home , I gave in and bought it. Was £7.90 which is better than the $35 it was for just a download on cdbabyripoff.com

Check out the little R2d2 guy in the bottom left. And this album came out a year before Star Wars! George ad Pedro ahead of the curve as always.

Watching a "Cosby Show" episode tonight, I squealed when I watched a scene in which Vanessa and boyfriend Robert listen to "Cosmic Slop" on their kitchen boom box.

is AWESOME. It's an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE!

shakey you clearly didnt check your email this week

free your minds the best of the early period, then one nation of the later period.

It's an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE!

what is it? there are only so many google hits for stores a man can click without getting information before he gives up.

god, for the days when every google hit wasn't some lame webstore.

It's unreleased recordings from the early 70s westbound era. Lots of eddie hazel goodness.

oh sweet. gettin that.

It's terrific.

hahah - checkin now, my brother said he saw this on vinyl in NY? must get

you must. It's on cd and lp.

this is pretty nuts - one of 'em is basically Funkadelic riffing on the Turtles' "Buzzsaw". The "You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure" version is completely different from the released one on "Cosmic Slop". "The Goose" is a little closer to the Parliament version, but no vocals and waaaay more guitar heaviness. this is good stuff - thx for the hookup Kerr!

Wars Of Armageddon is amazing, isn't it?

Album Description
* Originally scheduled for release some years ago (in 2002), Westbound
are happy to release a CD of previously unreleased Funkadelic
material.

* Recorded during the band's stay with legendary Detroit-based label,
Westbound Records, the tracklisting is a Funkadelic fan's delight.
Four finished songs and five jams or instrumental tracks. None of
these recordings are necessarily in finished form, nonetheless,
despite their raw state, as historical artefacts they are nothing less
than fascinating.

* Detailed sleeve notes by Funkadelic expert, Rob Bowman, who comments
that "the songs and the jams on this compilation provide a window into
the creative energies of early 70s Funkadelic".

1. HEART TROUBLE aka YOU CAN'T MISS WHAT YOU CAN'T MEASURE
2. THE GOOSE (THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG) aka THE GOOSE
3. VAMPY FUNKY BERNIE (3RD TUNE OLYMPIC)

RIP Boogie. Maybe now Bootsy will stop getting credit for basslines you played!

he's all over the mid-period stuff, which never gets enough love imho

Apparently George is releasing a new album under the Funkadelic name on tuesday. 5 tracks feature Sly. If the rest are anything like 'The Naz' I'm not expecting a whole lot.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/first-ya-gotta-shake-the-gate/id943588029

34 tracks though... a couple have to be good right?
