Just go to the Motherpage, rookie.

Parliment and Funkadelic as well as Bootsy Collins all have 2-cd anthology cd's which as well worth the money!!!

My two fave Parliment cd's are Aqua Boogie and Funkeletechy vs. Placebo Syndrome

Thanks for the link!

That's what I was wanting to know. So those are good places to start?

rachel3 said:

Would you say that these albums are great all the way through? I'm wondering if I should just buy the individual releases or start with the anthologies...

I'm a much bigger Funkadelic than a Parliament fan. Yes, there's a difference.

You should pretty much get Funkadelic album released on Westbound Records.

Funkadelic (Self-Titled)
Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow
Maggot Brain
Let's Take it to the Stage
Standing on the Verge of Getting it On

Oh child yes!!!! The Parliment on is called Gold and the best place to look is on Amazon or Half.com I paid under $10 for each one of these looke for the 2 cd ones!!

All those songs that Paris listed are on the Best of Funkedelic cd's I just bought that one for Christmas.

Those two Parliment are my faves becasue I LOVE them all the way through!!!!

Thanks to all that responded!! Cool to know we got some P-Funk fans in here!!

Ya gotta get fo'show, "Mother-ship Connection", "Chocolate City",

In order to get the gist of what George was doing, you have to get all of the Parliment albums on Casablanca. They are all connected and are like comic books.



If u want a good Parliment compilation, I recommend this:



U also have 2 pick up the Bootsy projects. George is all over them also.


If you want a Bootsy compilation, I recommend

Thank you!! I think I'm gonna start with the Tear the Roof Off compilation and then delve into the individual albums!

as a young boy I started out
Gloryhallastoopid & Funkentelechy Vs. Placebo Syndrome
and it only made me thirsty for more
I now own the majority of the released
P-Funk catalog... recently found some Parlet albums

and like Paris I'm more of a
Funkadelic freak than Parliament

but eventually you should collect it all
it's all very interesting & very funky

Then get U some Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns

funkpill said:

recently found those too...

and we may as well throw
Eddie Hazel's album in there:

it's all great
like the Starr Company/Paisley Park stuff
if you are the least bit of a fan
all of it is worth having
and it really doesn't matter
where you decide to start

and there it is

I would say get them all. Start with the earliest and work your way up. If you are a serious Prince fan you will not be disappointed. Alot of hardcore funk and serious rock jams. Purchase all the Bootsy 70's stuff also.

... and after all of the stuff already mentioned, get Bernie Worrell's 'All The Woo In The World' and Fuzzy Haskins' 'Radio Active' and 'A Whole Nother Thing'

These are the CDs that I have...

Parliament---
Up For The Down Stroke (1974)
Chocolate City (1975)
Mothership Connection (1976)

Funkadelic---
Hardcore Jollies (1976)
One Nation Under A Groove (1978)
Uncle Jam Wants You (1979)

I really need to get some more of their albums.I wish that every P-Funk album was remastered and put into a massive,multi-disc box set.I'd be first in line to buy it

FuNkeNsteiN said:

WHEN DEY FRUM

Cinnie said:

AH!

Bernie's album is from '78.
Fuzzy's albums are from '76 (A Whole Nother Thang) and '78 (Radio Active).

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Cuz yeah, I've already covered what was mentioned before your post.. I'm probably ready for those

Cinnie said:

Bernie's album includes this killer cut,

Insurance Man For The Funk

Since we're talking Bernie. A friend of mine hipped me to this album and it's one of my alltime favorites.
