Music fan is right, the production on this album stinks. It was recorded live in the mid 70's and sounds pretty much like it would if you were there.
But that's hardly the point. This is fine, fine funk played by great musicians, at the top of their game; and freed from the constraints of producing clean studio tracks. Turn up the volume, let the music flow and the grooves will slay you!

for those of us that like the Parliament/funkadelic thang! Having been lucky enough to see them play live, this album brings back many happy memories. A great addition to my collection!

Production definately is iffy, but that doesn't really matter. Turned up loud, all the tracks hit the right spot and the musicianship is incredible. All the funk standards really - based around the Mothership and Clones albums with plenty of Funkadelic stuff thrown in (bits from Get Off Your Ass And Jam, Let's Take It To The Stage, Take Your Dead Ass Home and of course Undisco Kidd) this is just a huge jam band funking on great vamps with a really enthusiastic crowd.

... was the day I read a review of this in New Musical express some time in 1977. And that was it. The writer was nuts, and it was a disease and I caught it and I still have it, thank God.
I fell in love with George Clinton the minute I saw the classic photograph of him with that stupendously, absurd head dress with rabbit fur and whatever it was, sunglasses, gloriously BLACK (I'm white by the way, but working on it) with the title GET FUNKED and I thought, THIS MAN KNOWS MORE THAN I DO and that was enough.
I was on board.
I got to Hull and found Virgin records and got hold of it, a live piece of vinyl, two pieces no less, one of which didn't play properly on my old autochanger, and started to take the packaging to bits, a T-shirt transfer, a poster of the same madman, strange other bits, and so on.
The music was from the other side of the universe, a take on humanity and love and rejoicing and warmth and the feel of the human I had never heard before, no, had never tasted; and it was wonderful.
I was listening then to Chopin and Berlioz (who may have understood Clinton far, far, more than you may have ever thought at first), and I was already a bit of a stranger in the up and coming world of the Stranglers, X-ray specs, Television, all the punk bands from way back then, but I knew I had found something wonderful, and I had.
What helped greatly was the discovery, piece by piece, of the general territory of black music. Oh my, could I never have heard this before? It reached into my soul so deep I thought a touch could never go so far, not that I thought as having so much depth in me; I discovered Sly stone, Al Green, James Brown, The Drifters, Charles Mingus, Barry White for pete's sake, and countless others.
