Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released by their former label using outtakes to capitalize on their growing fame, this collection serves as a fascinating transitional document for the P-Funk collective. The LP marks the official debut of teenage guitar prodigy Michael 'Kidd Funkadelic' Hampton, who injected a fresh, virtuosic rock energy into the band's dense soul grooves. Despite its piecemeal origins, it remains a heavily psychedelic and crucial piece of their mid-70s mythology.
