new book about P-Funk
“Daniel Bedrosian has done a wonderful job of a seemingly impossible task of reconstructing this history—finding everybody who's been a part of, involved with, or in any way left their fingerprint on what has become the P-Funk.”— George Clinton
George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic collective (P-Funk) stands as one of the most iconic and important groups in popular music history, with an impressively large discography, enormous number of members, and long history. For the first time, this authorized reference provides the official P-Funk canon from 1956 to 2023: every project, album, collaboration, song, details of personnel for songs, and tidbits about each act and select songs, as well as dozens of rare photos and a color photospread.
No volume has ever attempted to provide such details from this collective and its many dozens of acts, collaborations, and offshoot projects from its inception in the 50s as The Parliaments to the present day. Daniel Bedrosian, keyboardist for P-Funk, accomplishes that in this volume, the culmination of nearly thirty years of careful research, interviews, and access to exclusive archival material. Song entries are organized under artist / group names and contain definitive listings of players for each song. Select entries shed light on the inner workings of the recording process, singles chartings, controversies, inside information about process, and more.
This authorized volume demystifies one of the most unique and influential popular musical groups in history.

This is great and long overdue. Now I can find out (after all of these years) who really played lead guitar on "Butt To Butt Recesitation" and "Red Hot Mama". | |

I love finding out those things  another example: to me it sounds like Bootsy is playing bass on “Cookie Jar” but I think it’s one of the other guys.A book like this is long overdue. | |
