Taken as a whole, the five years from 1976 to 1981 are Funkadelic in microcosm, a one-stop shop to capture the band once it had evolved beyond the initial anger and statement-making, to use its internal tensions for the forces of good. These songs are virtually the house journal of an articulate, informed, witty, street-corner intellectualism moving from mere rebellion into fully-fledged revolution, while the musical masterminds come to terms with exactly how far they can take it.

This fabulous 2CD collection covers the late ‘70s output of George Clinton’s ground-breaking funk powerhouse, Funkadelic. Here we bring together the very best of the bands later years, including the full versions of “One Nation Under A Groove’ and the much-sampled ‘(Not Just) Knee Deep’ alongside rare instrumental versions of ‘One Nation…’ and ‘Electric Spanking Of War Babies’.
