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.

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!

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?

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?

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
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 18 August 2016 23:10 (seven years ago) link
No way! That's so cool. Now I have to check out Rare Earth.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 19 August 2016 00:04 (seven years ago) link
Well Ray Monette from Rare Earth played guitar on "I Got a Thing" half a decade earlier, so crossover just between those two bands wasn't new either.
― Futuristic Bow Wow (thewufs), Friday, 19 August 2016 00:13 (seven years ago) link
You could probably fill a book with all the history between Clinton/P-Funk and Motown. It's deep, man.
― Futuristic Bow Wow (thewufs), Friday, 19 August 2016 00:17 (seven years ago) link
Also I'm sure the Paul Warren story is true, but there are also boatloads of random and uncredited contributors to P-Funk's records, the 70s classics most definitely included.
― Futuristic Bow Wow (thewufs), Friday, 19 August 2016 00:22 (seven years ago) link
Rare Earth was from Detroit, those guys had to be playing similar gigs to Funkadelic in the early days. Junie was on Westbound in the early days with the Ohio Players too before he was actually in P-Funk, I'd have to think he was 'around'on those early LPs too.
There was so much soul, rock and funk in the midwest in that period of time- I'd love to read a total nerded out book about who gigged with who and the connections of the road of that era. It gets even deeper when you make the connection into the King Records/James Brown connection in Cincy (which also included the Isley's) then the later bands that came out of Dayton. It was all one big river. When you add in the rock bands from Ohio and Michigan from the era etc...it's just crazy amount of good music.
