MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION was the lp that blew my mind.
I begged my mother to buy me that lp. I first saw Parliament May 20th 1977 at the Arrowhead Statium. P-Funk Earth Tour. 60,000 people give up the funk. That led me to check out Sly, even more JB and led me to appreciate other artist who dared to be different like PRINCE. In the 70's that lp was the blueprint of FUNK to come. | |

Or just splurge and get this, their first four albums collectively: 
But be warned: Mandrill's typical classification as a Funk band is misleading. Sure they played Funk, but they also played Latin, Soul, Fusion, and what has come to be known as World Music. Think of a combination of Santana + War + Parliament/Funkadelic + Earth Wind & Fire = Mandrill. But they don't sound like anyone else, and their musical chops are the equal of ANY of those bands, if not better. The most underrated and criminally overlooked "Funk Band" ever. And for an unpredictable Parliament album suggestion, the most underrated album in their catalog, The Motor Booty Affair:
