anyone ever heard Junie's mid-70s solo albums?

I've heard the odd cut, but none of 'em in full. I'll bet you Kerr's heard 'em all!

The bassline on the title track. Oh, man.

I think Junie played pretty much all the instruments on that track (including the bassline) and on several others, actually. Probably the most gifted one man band in black pop before Prince, who owes him more than a little.

He's definitely the primary instrumentalist on 'The Electric Spanking of War Babies' ... That's kinda something when you think about it, given that Parliament/Funkadelic personnel credits at one point read like a novel!

"(You're A Fish And I'm A) Water Sign" is just sublime. Wish there were more p-funk slow jams like it. "Wizard of Finance" and "Placebo Syndrome" from Funkentelechy kind of scratch the same itch.

'Wizard of Finance' is my favourite of all the Parliament slow jams!

I haven't seen it, but... are you kidding me!? Late '70s P-funk wouldn't have been anywhere near the same without him!

'Rumpofsteelskin', such a fucking jam.

The title cut and "Deep" make for one helluva twosome -- threesome if I'm involved.
