OK, it's not *totally* this-list-ish, but I figured that someone here can probably help me out. I was in the drug store around the corner from my office and was walking by the cheapo CD & cassette rack when something caught my eye. There amongst the many copies of The Best of Red Sovine and Billy Joe Royal's Greatest Hits were three Funkadelic discs! At $4.99 a pop, I figured that I probably can't go wrong, but since I'm pretty unfamiliar with the Funkadelic discography, I just wanted to make sure before I bought 'em. The titles are: Electric Spanking of War Babies Hardcore Jollies One Nation Under a Groove All of them are 1993 editions on Charly Records. So, should I get any/all of 'em? Greg

=One Nation Under a Groove= is a classic, you wouldn't regret it for $24.99, much less $4.99. As for the others, they're definitely not as important as =One Nation,= but if you really like the sound, they have several tracks you'll find enjoyable. BTW: If you care to, check out my biographies of Funkadelic and Parliament in the All-Music Guide, with album listings and reviews, etc. Enjoy...

Well, if you wanna climb aboard da funky Mothership man, then yehhhh! Hardcore Jollies is a bit rockier and I dooooo prefer the earlier stuff but for $4.99, well you aint gonna be skinned! Saw George Clinton play at Phoenix festie 2 years ago, with lots of the ol Funkadelic krew and despite the heavens opening and soakin us all, twas one blindin, holy unforgettable experience! Bootsy played the same festie in the Jazz tent and NEVER, ever, EVER in all me life have I seen a crowd take off like that! Thought the jazz tent was just gonna swizzle off deliriously, into orbit, everyone was funkin it down soooo hard, twas like the whole tent was bouncing! Me and me pals were on the front row and all the Scottish posse were going totally mental besides me, all of us funkin it right up and out of our heads, everyone with the huuuuugest grins on our faces ... awww Bootsy ... Wot a geeezer! Him and George Clinton, they still DEFINITELY got da funk man, aint noone out there to touch em! Respect! oh yeh and remember, Officer Doodie rates these albums! Aless ps: you got me in da funky mood now man, gonna have to go & give em a play again, funk it right down in da music room!
