If you like funk then this album does exactly what it says on the tin. 100% no-holds barred funk. It transports you, there's no mistake as to it's vintage - pure 70's, you can feel it, smell it, it surrounds you. All the songs were Bootsy Collins / George Clinton compositions with input from various others and the album was produced by Dr. Funkenstein and Starr-Mon - pseudonyms used by George and Bootsy respectively.
The album cover and an 8-page comic included with the album were created by Overton Loyd, artist and friend of George Clinton. The comic book aptly called 'The Almost Finished Coloring Comic' starts in full colour and ends in empty panels. It's almost worth the price of the LP just to have this unique insert.
This is not an album I could play every day, only every now and then, but it washes over with nostalgia like a welcome wave.
