Jimmy G and the Tackheads - The Federation of Tackheads (1985)
37:44 | mp3@256cbr | 53mb | out of print
P.Funk

Until yesterday one of the most requested and sought after albums in p-funk community!
“ Rob.Clough@duke.edu:
' This album is truly a case against nepotism. Clinton worked with his younger brother, Jimmy Giles, to record an album. Jimmy G is actually a pretty good bass player and the Family Series later shows that he was talented. But only a few songs let Jimmy G really show off his bass chops, surrounded by some good percussion. The most amusing song is "I Want Yo Daughter", which is a blatant Prince rip-off, ironic considering how much he stole from P.Funk over the years.' 		”

Ohio Players - Observations in Time (1968) REPOST

Ohio PLayers - Observations in Time (1968)
37:14 | mp3@192cbr | 56mb
P.Funk

“ Produced by Johnny Brantley in New York, "Observations in Time" is full of songs that would have been perfect for a Sam & Dave or Rufus Thomas session; there is no shortage of Southern-style grit on "Street Party," "The Man That I Am" or the single "Here Today and Gone Tomorrow" (which was a minor hit) and the jazz influence is strong on imaginative versions of the standards "Over the Rainbow" and "Summertime." So even though the Players offer a lot of Southern-minded R&B on "Observations in Time" (which was their only album for Capitol), they aren't afraid to branch out and try some other things. Thankfully, this album was reissued on CD in the '90s.' ”

P.Funk

“ Alex.Henderson@allmusic.com:
' When the Ohio Players were burning up the R&B charts in the mid-'70s, various budget labels tried to cash in on their popularity by putting out collections of lesser-known material that they had recorded in the 1960s. One of them was "First Impressions", which focuses on the pre-Westbound sessions that Johnny Brantley produced for the Players in New York in 1968. These selections are quite different from their Westbound and Mercury output of the 1970s, but the material is generally enjoyable and certainly isn't without historic value.' 		”

“ Alex.Henderson@allmusic.com:
' By the time Westbound released "Climax" in 1974, the Ohio Players had left the Detroit-based label and signed with Mercury, where they would soon explode commercially with the superb "Skin Tight". But Westbound still had enough material in the can to put together a few more Players LPs, including "Climax" and the 1975 release "Rattlesnake".' 		”

“ ' Throughout the 1970s, the Ohio Players were famous (or infamous) for their erotic album covers. But there are major differences between the covers of Mercury albums like "Skin Tight","Fire", "Honey", and "Contradiction" and the covers of such Westbound releases as "Pleasure" and "Pain". At Mercury, the Players' album covers favored softcore erotica à la Playboy or Penthouse, whereas the covers of their Westbound LPs were more bizarre and offered kinky bondage/S&M imagery. Those covers came under attack from different parts of the political spectrum; some of the more radical feminists accused the Players of objectifying women, while Republicans and Christian fundamentalists accused them of promoting moral decline. And the Players were laughing all the way to the bank.' Alex.Henderson@allmusic.com ”

P.Funk

“ ' A brilliant second album, spearheaded by the one and only Walter "Junie" Morrison, songwriter, singer, keyboardist, bass player, guitar player, drummer and arranger. The album has an excellent mix of hard-driving funk and rock, as well as precisely crafted soul ballads. There's a lot of freshness and originality here as well, and Junie is the springboard for much of it, with his complex musical ideas and bizarre sense of humor. There's something for everyone on this album, and all funk fans should run to try and find this one. It's an absolute requirement for any OP or Junie fans, no question. "Funky Worm" is the track that got the OP's on the map, BTW. ' Rob.Clough@duke.edu ”

“ ' It was with "Pain" that Ohio Express became famous (some would say infamous) for their erotic LP covers. Employing S&M/bondage imagery, "Pain's" front cover was considered shocking in 1971. Although the Velvet Underground had written songs about S&M, and the British spy thriller The Avengers frequently hinted at kinky sex S&M and fetishism were very taboo subjects for Middle America in 1971. And not surprisingly, some retailers refused to carry "Pain". But the album was a decent seller.' Alex.Henderson@allmusic.com ”

Album is part of Bill Laswell's BLACK ARC series.
“ ' After recording only sporadically for more than a decade and following stints in both Santana and the California Raisins (!?!), Buddy Miles convened a new Buddy Miles Express in the mid-'90s. Producer Bill Laswell was given the Black Arc imprint of Rykodisc, and "Hell and Back" was one of two initial releases to feature Miles, the other was the power trio Hardware with Bootsy Collins and Steve Salas. The production is excellent, with the standout tracks coming at the end.' Sean.Westergaard@allmusic.com ”

“ ' Containing some of the Poets' most trenchant political and social lyrics, "Holy Terror" shows the Last Poets, Umar Bin Hassan and Abiodun Oyewole, still as fiery and sharp as ever. "Black Rage" paints a portrait of urban hell that will chill any listener to the bone. The album is also superbly produced, with a funk sound that supports the lyrics while never overshadowing them. Credit is due to seminal producer Bill Laswell, who, armed with a first-class band made up of P-Funk alumni George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and Bernie Worrell.' Victor.W.Valdivi@allmusic.com ”

P.Funk

This album is part of Bill Laswell's Black Arc Series.
“ ' Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey's comeback project stands solidly on the foundation that George Clinton built. Brailey is a disaffected Parliament/Funkadelic alumnus, and living proof that you can leave P-Funk but you can't leave it alone. That's not a criticism, by any means, just an observation -- after all, what funkster doesn't stand on that same foundation? Hits include the album's opening track, an instrumental funk workout called "The Growl" that features brain-searing turntable work by DXT, and the relentless "No Choice," which kicks serious groovacious booty. Overall, this album is good for three or four solid entries on a party tape. ' Rick.Anderson@allmusic.com ”

“ ' Under the leadership of Jerome Brailey, Mutiny was one of the few acts with roots originating from the P-Funk empire to establish an identity independent of George Clinton. Brailey was already an industry veteran by the time he joined Parliament, having played with the Five Stairsteps and Chambers Brothers, so he was more business-minded than many of P-Funk's members. A financial dispute with George Clinton led to Brailey and Glenn Goins leaving Parliament during the 1977 Earth Tour, and Brailey maintains he is still owed money by Clinton. He wasted no time in taking out his frustrations in the studio, helping Goins complete the album from Quazar while establishing his own band, Mutiny.' editorial.review@deep.groove.encyclopedia ”

“ ' When Einstein cracked the space-time riddle, he pulled the rug out from under an outmoded mindscape to reveal a new vision of reality, one which replaced linear time with a flowing field of perpetual transformation. Science was merely confirming what the sorcerers of old hab known for centuries through magickal, alchemical, and shamanic techniques: that the consensual, accepted way of viewing the physical world was false. Eastern and Western mystics, spiritual transcendents, and enlightened lay people have always been liberated by the understanding that time and space were an unquantifiable eternity with no solidity, no limits, no inception and no conclusion.' booklet@axiom.ambient ”

“ ' To some, boiling Parliament's legacy down to a single-disc collection is the equivalent of heresy, since most fans treat each album as an individual work of art. Still, there is no denying that Parliament was an untouchable singles act, recording some of the greatest soul/funk singles of the '70s. For those listeners that just want an introduction, or only need the hits, "Give Up the Funk" is the ideal choice. "The Best of Parliament" supplies all of the great group's greatest hits, from "Up for the Down Stroke" and "Tear the Roof off the Sucker" to "Flash Light" and "Aqua Boogie."
