I'm STILL waiting for my hit of Funkentelchy. I ordered the motherfunker two weeks ago, and have still received F-all. They said it shipped the day after I ordered it, but I'm just about ready to kill someone right now I'm only soothed by the fact that it SHOULD be worth the wait.

I called the number on the back of the CD ( I have the US version from Westbound, which is the same as the ACE remaster ) and talked to Armen Boladian founder of Westbound Records.

He told me to give it a couple of months and when the problem is fixed he would be glad to exchange the CD.

The person who gave Funkadelic complete artistic freedom...

funkpill said:

Oh Yeah!


You know I had to give him the it is such a honor to meet you speech

Meloh9 said:

Were you surprise when he answered the phone??

Almost fell off my chair when you said you actually spoke to Armen Boladian, the one and only.
I have the same US versions you have so I guess I'll be making a call on monday.

funkpill said:

No not really. I had already heard that its pretty much just him as far as Westbound. I asked him about the Funkadelic outtake album "Toys" that was supposed to come out. And we had a pretty good talk about how the buisness is being ran today.

Did he say anything about it being released?

Bfunkthe1 said:

He just said that he wants to release it, but it has to make sense. Sounds like they don't want to just put any old thing out.

They are all great, buy them all!

[i]Hands Down,[/i] the pre-1978 stuff. Get all the stuff with Eddie on them. Eddie made Funkadelic

just to give everyone a quick update.

I emailed ACE records about the problem with the edits on Standing On The Verge and I just recieved the CD in the mail today free of charge. Looks like the problem has been fixed.

Have only the Funkadelic releases been remastered or the Parliament releases, too?

As I posted earlier, I have TOO many faves to pick a fave album. But if someone put a gun up to my head, I would probably say;

Parliament - "Mothership Connection"
Funkadelic - "Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow"

The Mothership is all you would need...

UPDATE

I've now got 'Mothership...', 'Funkentelechy...' and 'The Motor Booty Affair' from Parliament's side, and 'One Nation...', 'Standing On The Verge...', and 'Maggot Brain' from the Funkadelic side. I've also got Motor City Madness, which is a decent compilation of the Westbound Funkadelic stuff.

They're all AMAZING. I wanna get every single album these crazy motherfunkers did now - though I'll be out on the streets within a month if I do

I can now see how it's IMPOSSIBLE to posisbly rank any of the albums. They're all number one in their own different way.

Check out America Eat's It's Young --Funkadelic it was originally released as a double lp. Very very trippy and psycedelic. That one's my person fave!
