"This is the one that started it all, the 1970 debut disk by George Clinton's groundbreaking funk racketeers Parliament. All of the extravagant, idiosyncratic elements are in place here -- lysergic-dosed soul, wild guitars, deep grooves, over-arching experimentation -- combining to create an altogether unprecedented collection of typically free thinking, almost unhinged workouts. A funk milestone of epic proportions."

180 gram vinyl version. 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

180 gram vinyl version. Exact repro of this 1976 episode of the Parliament saga, opening with backwards-masked weirdo vocals declaring "funk is its own reward." Bernie Worrell and Fred Wesley split the horn arrangements, while Bootsy Collins and George Clinton address the scientific community at large. Of course, this is a concept album... or something.

Exact repro, originally released in 1977. "You already know how influential Clinton's surreal wordplay and pop-culture references were to rap, and lyrically George was never more kick-ass than he is here, from the non sequiturs of 'Bop Gun (Endangered Species)' and 'Funkentelechy' to the tender Sly Stone doo-wop of 'Wizard of Finance.' And the duet between Sir Nose and Starchild on the second track is just flat-out hilarious." -- Ink Blot Magazine

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

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
