Despite it's misleading title, Funkadelic's LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE is not a live album. This 1975 studio release is what many Funkadelic aficionados consider the band's last true rock-funk album, before Clinton and Co. concentrated entirely on more dance-based and radio-friendly material. It is also the first Parliament-Funkadelic release to prominently feature the talents of the groups' recently acquired bassist, the outrageous Bootsy Collins, whom many regard as the very embodiment of funk. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE also finds Parliament-Funkadelic on the verge of shedding its long-lived cult status and finally reaching wide spread commercial success.

The title track, in which shots are taken at other popular '70s funk figures (such as Sly and even the Godfather of Soul, James Brown), gloriously displays the band's sense of humor. So do the sexually suggestive "No Head No Backstage Pass" and the album's party-anthem highlight, "Get Off Your Ass And Jam." Other top funk workouts include "Stuffs & Things," "Better By The Pound," "Good To Your Earhole," the more serene "Be My Beach," and the album-closing, largely instrumental "Atmosphere." LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE continues Funkadelic's winning '70s streak.

Bootsy Collins comes to the line-up and Funkadelic starts to get more funky - and the classic P-Funk sound comes to the forefront on this live album. This CD contains the original 10 track album from 1975 (remastered) plus 1 bonus track from 1972: "Baby

Additional personnel includes: Paul Warren, Reggie McBride, Frosty, Mello Garcia, Honeys, Denise Hurd, Gary "Mudbone" Cooper, Telma Hopkins, Joyce Vincent.

Recorded at Hollywood Studios, Hollywood, California & United Sound, Detroit, Michigan.

CD $12.29  Top 500
Funkadelic's 1974 release STANDING ON THE VERGE OF GETTING IT ON proved to be a continuation of the more consolidated direction laid down on its predecessor, COSMIC SLOP. But STANDING is the better and stronger album, and easily Funkadelic's most consistent work since the classic MAGGOT BRAIN. Even though the band's members were, at the time, doing double duty in the more commercially oriented Parliament, Funkadelic maintained its complete allegiance here to wildly experimental, rock-influenced music. The album begins with a lighthearted poem read by two band members, ...

Funkadelic's self-titled 1969 debut may not be on the same plateau as the group's later, all-encompassing masterpieces (MAGGOT BRAIN, COSMIC SLOP, etc.), but does serve as the strong foundation upon which their early 70's masterworks were built. Along with Jimi Hendrix's band, Funkadelic is one of the first units to inject funk with hard rock. Whereas funk pioneer James Brown concentrates on creating air-tight, precise grooves, Funkadelic keeps things loose, raw, and groovy. Drug experimentation also plays a prominent role in the band's early work, perhaps never as evidently as on FUNKADELIC. From the beginning, singer George Clinton has been the band's undisputed leader. He wrote or ...

Funkadelic Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow CD  (1970) Remastered

Let's Take It To The Stage songs
CD $12.29  5 stars Top 500
Funkadelic's self-titled debut may have touched upon drug-induced acid rock, but on their 1970 follow-up, FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW, the band blows the door off its hinges. Look no further than the album-opening ten-minute title track--perhaps the most spaced out composition witnessed by rock & roll since the Rolling Stones' late-'60s psychedelic-phase--for the proof. Funkadelic is still a step away from perfecting its funk-rock craft. This album is hindered by very treble-heavy production, a sonic approach very unlike the group's future bass-indulgent works. FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW is one of Funkadelic's shortest albums, at barely over a half-hour ...

The stunning title track provides the ultimate vehicle for Funkadelic's late and great guitarist, Eddie Hazel. This moving ten-minute instrumental has Hazel playing through many peaks and valleys, wringing passion from his six-string, and leaving the listener drained by its conclusion. Another highlight is "You And Your Folks, Me and My Folks," a song about interracial relationships that is one of Funkadelic's most soulful tracks ever. Also included are the heavy metal thrasher "Super Stupid," the prime funk workout "Hit It And Quit It" (featuring the great Bernie Worrell on organ), and "Can You Get To That," one of the sunniest, most memorable funk-gospel-soul songs in the band's--or anyone's--catalogue.

With each successive release, Funkadelic was streamlining its sound, a process culminating in such early '70s classics as COSMIC SLOP. The group's acid rock-heavy early work had metamorphosed into straight-up, party hearty funk, with lyrics that alternate between the serious (the title track) ...

Lou Bennett, Alics Gate-Eastley and Fil Collings are The Sweet Cheeks! And if you take the time to check, I think you’ll agree from the heart of your bottoms, that yes, their mooms are sweet! Ladies and Gentlemen, after 5 years of performing together, The Sweet Cheeks have finally recorded their debut album “Hold My Hand?” Due for release late June ’07, we trust you’ll agree it was worth the wait!Lou, an Australian indigenous woman- from the Yorta Yorta-Dja Dja Wurrung people, has been living in Melbourne for the past 18 years. Lou’s most regarded work was with the Tiddas- spanning the 90’s, travelling nationally and internationally and has gone on to solo albums, public sound scapes, theatre and documentary as a composer and a performer.Lou, Alics and Fil each have had many years experience in the music industry prior to The Sweet Cheeks. Alics (co-founder of Scottish “cow-punk” outfit, The Well Oiled Sisters) shifted from the U.K. to see how green the grass grew down here in Melbourne - “The Well Oileds” had called it a day, after a decade of sharing music with people all over the world. Over their brief but varied history, The Sweet Cheeks have enjoyed many stages including Edinburgh Festival in 2002 (one of their first shows outside of Australia) and various festivals including WOMAD (Australia/New Zealand). ...
