Best Funkadelic Studio Album

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)
4. TALK ABOUT JESUS
5. SLIDE ON IN (2ND 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.

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

Vote in the pfunk tracks poll losers

I'm working on it!

I'm sure I voted Maggot Brain but now would change my vote to Standing On The Verge

have really grown to love let's take it to the stage of late

OK so I'm showing my ignorance here and I realise this is probably a really famous image, but I'd never seen this photo of Huey P. Newton before today...

So the guitar player that George spoke of in his book , that played the guitar on Get Off Your Ass And Jam, was infact Paul Warren from Rare Earth?

haha waht

Eh?

several youtube comments I saw from ppl who claim to know both parties. It seems legit.

all he wanted was money for weed i think

tbf it wasnt gonna just be some random kid playing that good, makes sense it was someone from a band that we might know

yah that was always a george bs legend thing

Paul Warren also did some sessions with the Temptations and the Undisputed Truth.

this jibes with the crossover in personnel between Motown and P-Funk at the time

No way! That's so cool. Now I have to check out Rare Earth.
