Wow! Is that real? Has anyone heard it yet?

Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 17 April 2009 22:30 (fifteen years ago) link

Wait. "with support from other US Music members, and a fair bit of the current Funkadelic lineup too." Who were US Music?

Product Description
CD Description
The Funkadelic who had made the albums, "Funkadelic", "Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow" and "Maggot Brain" collapsed in on themselves under the pressures of touring and nefarious substances in 1972, although some members shuttled back and forth between Detroit and Toronto and kept recording. One of the side projects embarked upon was an LP by a group called U.S. One single, `Baby I Owe You Something Good' b/w `I Miss My Baby', appeared that year credited to U.S. music with Funkadelic. An album reached test-pressing stage, but until now no more has been heard of it.

U.S. (which stood for United Soul) were from George Clinton's home town of Plainfield, New Jersey. They included future Funkadelic members Gary Shider and brothers Cordell and Larry Mosson. U.S. recorded in Detroit and Toronto with the album produced by Bernie Worrell, Ray Davies and Fuzzy Haskins. In addition it featured many Funkadelic musicians.

The original album master of five tracks includes some prime era Funkadelic grooves, including the outrageous `Rat Kiss The Cat On The Navel' and `Be What You Is', both uptempo psychedelic funk; the wonderful gospel-imbued vocals of Shider on `I Miss My Baby'; and the opener `This Broken Heart'. When the LP wasn't issued the group split up and Funkadelic co-opted some of their members.

This release is part of Ace Record's Westbound 40th Aniversary celebrations. A truly historic lost album it is the first off-shoot from the Parliafunkadelicment Thang, that became a whole industry in itself.

Check out the funkadelic albums poll thread, there was chat on the Funkadelic - Toys cd i got last year. Some amazing stuff on it,
including a truly amazing and superior version of Wars Of Armageddon on it

just found this album on blogspot... sounds like the same track, just less murky and a little faster than the original poster's version.

GÖTT DAT SCHING (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 18 April 2009 02:36 (fifteen years ago) link

nice find - cleaned up version is pretty sweet. Be What You Is sounds like the real find here tho! The rest of this stuff has been released before.

shit was shocking as fuck back then (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 18 April 2009 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link

loving this

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 18 April 2009 21:46 (fifteen years ago) link

thought it was pretty disappointing, not buying it after checking out the DL and I was very excited going in. thought Toys had some great stuff, though...

The poppier version of "Rat Kissed the Cat"on A Fifth of Funk isn't particularly psychedelic but it's pretty awesome nonetheless. Still don't think I've heard the full length version Shakey linked above.

Finally got round to getting the ‘Rest In P’ comp...don’t know why I didn’t have it (possibly because the ‘Jams From The Heart’ comp is pretty poor) but there’s some fantastic jams on there...thoroughly recommended

Interesting and bittersweet story about when a young 1985 era DC punk rock kid carrying a guitar got approached by a guy named Eddie who asked him if he wanted to jam

curmudgeon, Wednesday, 17 March 2021 15:31 (three years ago) link

I think some of y’all will find the above story fascinating to read.

curmudgeon, Thursday, 18 March 2021 14:54 (three years ago) link

A hell of a read indeed.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 18 March 2021 18:34 (three years ago) link

I read that somewhere before, so great

I like signing up to dead sites (sleeve), Thursday, 18 March 2021 18:48 (three years ago) link

Wow what a fantastic story...nobody’s guitar playing was exquisitely painful/beautiful as Eddie’s
