Artist:	PARLIAMENT
Title:	Up For The Down Stroke
Label:	CASABLANCA
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	NB 7002LP

Exact reissue of the 2nd Parliament album, originally released 1974; this is the chronological followup to the Osmium album. Produced by George Clinton, featuring the Parliament group w/ Bootsie Collins, Gary Shider, Cordell Mosson, Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, etc. "Kicking off with one of prime funk's purest distillations -- the outrageously great title track, with a perfect party chorus line and uncredited horns (presumably the Horny Horns were involved somehow) adding to the monster beat and bass -- Up For The Down Stroke finds Parliament in rude good health." --All Music Guide

Artist:	PARLIAMENT
Title:	Chocolate City
Label:	CASABLANCA
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	NB 7014LP

Exact reissue of the 3rd Parliament album, originally released 1975. The Casablanca follow-up to Up for the Down Stroke. " This album is 100% funk, all the way through. The early eclecticism is abandoned for jam after rump-shakin' jam. While it makes for a great party record, it doesn't make for the Funk Mob's greatest work of art, but it is certainly a good time. The album is solid from beginning to end, and even if it sounds a bit derivative of other funk acts, it doesn't matter much because of the raw talent of Bootsy & Bernie, the two people who completely dominate the album." --Rob Clough

Title:	Mothership Connection
Label:	CASABLANCA
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	NB 7022LP

Exact reissue of the 4th Parliament album, originally released 1976. "The definitive Parliament-Funkadelic album, Mothership Connection is where George Clinton's revolving band lineups, differing musical approaches, and increasingly thematic album statements reached an ideal state, one that resulted in enormous commercial success as well as a timeless legacy. The musical lineup assembled for Mothership Connection is peerless: in addition to keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell; Bootsy Collins, who plays not only bass but also drums and guitar; the guitar trio of Gary Shider, Michael Hampton, and Glen Goins; and the Becker brothers (Michael and Randy) on horns; there are former J.B.'s Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker (also on horns), who were the latest additions to the P-Funk stable." --All Music Guide
