Funkadelic compilation 'Toys' finally to be released

The collection of Funkadelic outakes Toys is finally going to be relased, but from what I can tell so far its an import.

http://www.amazon.com/Toy...B0000640BB

amazon product description


Originally scheduled for release in 2002, we are happy to now release a CD of previously unheard Funkadelic material. It was well worth the wait.

Recorded during the band's stay with legendary Detroit-based label, Westbound Records, the track-listing is a Funkadelic fan's delight. Four finished songs and five jams or instrumental tracks. None of these recordings are necessarily in finished form, nonetheless, despite their raw state, as historical artifacts they are nothing less than fascinating.

Detailed sleeve notes by Funkadelic expert Rob Bowman, who comments that 'the songs and the jams on this compilation provide a window into the creative energies of early 70s Funkadelic'.

Plus a video clip of the band performing Cosmic Slop in 1973. Insert in your CD-ROM drive and enjoy.


I have been curious about this one for awhile now. I saw it at the funk store back in 02 but as the description states it was never was released

You're not the only one!!!

This is still cool, though. I wonder how much of Eddie will be on the album. I don't know much about this project, hopefully an Org Funkateer can hip me to this. I think it'll be cool to check out, because I love Westbound era Funkadelic!!!
JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!!

sorry didn't mean to be misleading, I was thinking the same thing after I posted. Parliament Funkadelic figures would be cool, imagine Bootsy with his bass

Since I found you (I found you)
Just imagine a monkey with a peanut machine

Because I'm nuts all over you
