Overall I've got to roll with

And S/T is a tough one to mess with.

THE PARLIAMENTS

The S/T joint is hard as fuck. "Mamma what is a funkadelic?" oh shit! The bass playing on that whole album, got you open. Funk you very much indeed. If I had to make a top 5.

1. S/T
2. Maggot Brain
3. Osmium
4. Free Your Mind and you ass will follow
5. Cosmic Slop

I've got to go with Osmium. That's proabably been my most listened to album over the past couple of years. That shit does not get old. I was listening to that shit this morning on my way to work and just think "Damn, these lyrics are so so so, right on with everything."

i'd imagine this is pretty different from the "red hot mama" they released in 1976?

Sentimental favorite because I used to blast this record in the front room of my Grandparents' house every time I was visiting:



"We are children of production
produced in conjunction
with the urgency of our
Dr. Funkenstein"

oh and...


"Gettin' to know you
was one of the things that I
chose to do
baby I love you
and the world
that surrounds you...

FOREVER CLASSIC

I've never heard that version!  

Here is my Top 5:

Funkadelic - ST
Parliament - The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein (one of the first funk LPs I bought)
Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop
Parlet - Play Me Or Trade Me
Parliament - Motor Booty Affair

i'll do up Red Hot Mama tonight unless someone beats me to it. It's also on the Complete Invictus Recordings CD, although it's different from the 45, I'll put up both.

here's the CD version:

1. S/T
2. Maggot Brain
3. Osmium

FUNKADELIC - COSMIC SLOP

Those two Ruth Copeland albums are worth a mention. I wouldn't put them up there with Maggot Brain or Osmium, but damn she was badasss...

mine has got to be "standing on the verge of getting it on."
i'm surprised this hasn't yet been mentioned.

I really like The Parliments Version of "Good Old Music" on Revilot.Just sounds allot tougher than the Self Titled verison from Funkadelic lp.

I think I love the Osmium era the best.

The band was a tight unit and the music really stands up, I don't think Eddie Hazel ever sounded as good as he does on the Invictis stuff and the Ruth Copeland albums.

As far as the later 'proper' P-Funk stuff goes, I think that Bootsy's Rubber Band was the absolute peak of brilliance, especially the live shows.

So, yeah, records..Hmm:

-Osmium (UK CD reissue with non-LP cuts & 45s)
-Ruth Copeland's 'I am what I am' & 'Self Portrait'
-Stretchin' Out
-Up For the Downstroke
-Chocolate City
-Let's Take It To the Stage

Cosign, this is my favorite post-Maggot Brain Funkadelic record. They got Eddie Hazel back in full force, and he co-wrote every song...
