i'm sure of interest to superfrank (i think?) but i'm not sure how many others, seven funkadelic albums have been re-released with "better" mastering etc. guess this means buying maggot brain again! no bad thing though... :p

Thanks. What ones are being re-released? I only have One Nation..... and a Greatest Hits compilation. The one I want is the one with Take It To The Stage.
hey, it looks like
funkadelic
free your mind
maggot brain
america eats its young
let's take it to the stage
standing on the verge of getting it on (greatest album name ever??)
tales of kidd funkadelic
..according to this terrific review of the first four above:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record...ts-young.shtml
that should keep you busy! maggot brain's amazing, the only one i have.
It's either Standing On The Verge of Getting It On or Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic. Take It To The Stage is a deadly song, funny too.
The live version of Maggot Brain is really good too. Who did the solo on that song? Was it Bootsy?
Their pre-Warner Bros. stuff is suppoesd to be their best. One Nation.... is definitely worth getting.
could be wrong but i think bootsy came in later as a bassist. that review says it's eddie hazel playing maggot brain, great song. chrs for the rec. on one nation
Bootsy's Rubber Band are another good side venture. I'm pretty sure he had a single as recently as 2004.
I haven't heard the other groups but there must've been four or five bands from the original group "The Parliaments". The weird thing is they started out as a barbershop group.
yea and then the acid started to kick in!Quote:

I'll leave with these words of wisdom: "The doorman said: No head, no backstage pass."

Funkadelic hit song " One Nation Under a Groove"
Mid 1990's hit song by Black female vocal group " Free your Mind and the rest will follow" ; which was based on mid 1970's US Black Ghetto streetspeak " Free Your Mind and Your Ass will follow"...
Put em all together and what do you get?
Yeah I amQuote:

Great series of remasters.
