Deep Album Cuts Vol. 68: Parliament-Funkadelic
George Clinton's greatest invention. This is a collection of Parliament's ten albums from 1970 to 1980 and five compilations. If there are any errors or if I missed anything, let me know in the comments. Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. Osmium is the debut album by funk band Parliament, led by George Clinton. The album has a psychedelic soul sound with a spirit of experimentation that is more similar to early Funkadelic than the later R&B-inspired Parliament albums. It was originally released in September 1970 on Invictus Records. The P.Funk Discography. The complete P.Funk Album List: a complete listing of albums by Funkadelic, Parliament, George Clinton, the P-Funk All Stars, Bootsy, and related 'core' groups, as well as by groups or ensembles with significant P.Funk involvement. Parliament and Funkadelic released 3 albums a year between the two groups in both 1975 and 1976, and I would put P-Funk's 1975 trio (Chocolate City, Take It To The Stage, and Mothership Connection) up against CCR's 1969 as one of the most impressive single year outputs in pop music history. Since many of their best songs are pretty long (four 9.
Last week Bernie Worrell passed away, and even before that, when it'd been announced that his health was failing, I'd been listening to a lot of Parliament and Funkadelic. I remember years ago I had an eMusic subscription and had started working my way through the P-Funk discography, but they just have so many albums that I never got really far past the early records. But they've made an amazing catalog, and Bernie Worrell in particular has always dazzled me as one of the most important people to raise the synthesizer to its own distinct instrument, so it was nice to comb over some of these records and remember his work.Parliament-Funkadelic Deep Album Cuts (Spotify playlist):

The tracks on here that I would highlight as featuring some of Bernie Worrell's best work include 'Free Your Mind,' 'Together,' 'Sir Nose,' and 'Let's Play House,' but really it's fun to just listen chronologically and hear him progress from blaring acid rock organ to these incredibly off the wall synth patches. And obviously just one of a few amazing instrumental virtuosos who did their best work alongside George Clinton.
The whole confusing affair with Parliament and Funkadelic essentially being the same group of people operating under under two different names was, primarily, a brilliant hustle that allowed P-Funk to record for two different labels. And each band individually churned out LPs at the swift rate of most bands in the '70s. Over the course of the decade, they released a total of 19 albums, dwarfing the output of almost any other non-jazz artist in the '70s. Parliament and Funkadelic released 3 albums a year between the two groups in both 1975 and 1976, and I would put P-Funk's 1975 trio (Chocolate City, Take It To The Stage, and Mothership Connection) up against CCR's 1969 as one of the most impressive single year outputs in pop music history. Since many of their best songs are pretty long (four 9 or 10-minute tracks take up half of this mix), I just stuck to one track per album, and still had to skip several albums.
You may recognize a lot of these songs from samples by N.W.A. ('Sir Nose'), A Tribe Called Quest ('Let's Take It To The People'), De La Soul ('Mommy, What's A Funkadelic?') and of course the Digital Underground's 'The Humpty Dance' ('Let's Play House'). But mostly I wanted to capture the way the band evolved, and how they basically ran with what Sly Stone and other funk forebears had created and blew it up into this bizarre, unique sound and mythology that helped bridge eras right up into hip hop. The emotional balladry of 'The Song Is Familiar,' the hard rock of 'Alice In My Fantasies,' the straight up funk of 'Everything Is On The One,' the legendary guitar freakout of 'Maggot Brain,' this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Osmium is the 1970 debut album by the funk band Parliament, led by George Clinton. The album has a psychedelic soul sound with a spirit of experimentation that is more similar to early Funkadelic than the later R&B-inspired Parliament albums.
The original vinyl release contained a glossy lyric sheet.
Since its re-release in 1990, Osmium has been distributed numerous times by various labels in the U.S., Europe and Japan, sometimes under alternative titles that have included Rhenium and First Thangs. A number of these reissues have featured material that was not included on the original album, such as unreleased tracks and singles that were recorded around the same time as Osmium.
The personnel for this album included the five Parliaments singers and the five backing musicians known as Funkadelic. The same personnel also recorded as Funkadelic, releasing that act's self-titled debut album also in 1970. After the release of Osmium, contractual difficulties prevented further recording under the name Parliament until 1974, when Clinton signed that act to Casablanca Records and positioned it as an R&B-inspired counterpoint to the more rock-oriented Funkadelic.
The yodeling that arguably uniquely identifies one of De La Soul's early hits, 'Potholes In My Lawn' (which eventually appeared on De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising), comes from Osmium's 'Little Old Country Boy'.
1. 'I Call My Baby Pussycat' (George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, Billy 'Bass' Nelson) – 4:24 (released as a single-Invictus 9077 under the name 'A Parliament Thang')
2. 'Put Love in Your Life' (Clinton, Vivian Lewis) – 5:07
3. 'Little Old Country Boy' (Ruth Copeland) – 3:58
4. 'Moonshine Heather' (Clinton) – 4:05

7. 'There Is Nothing Before Me But Thang' (Clinton, Bobby Harris, Hazel, Bernie Worrell) – 3:56
8. 'Funky Woman' (Clinton, Worrell) – 2:56
9. 'Livin' the Life' (Clinton, Nelson, Worrell) – 5:57
10. 'The Silent Boatman' (Copeland) – 5:45
Up for the Down Stroke is a 1974 album by Parliament. It was the band's second album (following 1970's Osmium), and their first to be released on Casablanca Records.

The album also contains a funk reworking of The Parliaments' song '(I Wanna) Testify' under the title 'Testify'.
