re: Parliaments on Revilot - Tuff City Records has supposedly acquired the original multi-track tapes and have been preparing a double-LP of everything. They already released a 7" with two instrumental takes of The Parliaments doing "Sgt Peppers" (!!) plus a 10" of vocal and instrumental versions of 3 other tracks, but I can't find much info about the full compilation beyond what's printed on the back of the 10". I hope it comes to fruition, as the earlier grey-area CD compilations sound pretty wonky, and many of the original 45s are not cheap.

Yeah, really hope that sees the light of day. I read something that seemed to imply that the Sgt Pepper recordings were sessions for an unfinished/unreleased LP, which would be amazing if true. Been dreaming about a nicely-done Parliaments Complete Revilot Recordings comp for a long time.

I've just been listening through various episodes of a podcast called Couch Matters. So have heard hour long interviews with both Clinton and Bernie Worrell.Worrell talked about influences including Keith Emerson as well as hanging out with Ted Nugent.Interesting listen.May be others from the P-funk access on there certainly others about as interesting. I don't know if I've come across an interview with Jah Shaka before.ā Stevolende, Thursday, April 30, 2020 7:35 AM (eight hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

Thank you! Wow, they've got a grip of good guests on there too! Subscribed.
Couch Matters made me think of the couch from Family Matters.

Huh, I guess it really was released on CD in 2013...? Anyways. Here's a perceptive/sympathetic review: https://ecmreviews.com/2016/04/27/bernie-worrell-elevation-the-upper-air/

That review is kinda annoying in its phrasing, but still gonna check that out. Missed it in 2013

imo Electric Spanking of War Babies is a very underrated moment in the P-Funk canon. I love the thin, hollow reverb on it, and there are some great tunes still, for being so late in the game.
