"If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotions" and so it began... First signed to Westbound in 68 and dropped their first album ( Funkadelic ) in 1970. There where various line ups over the next 5 years but the quality of the recorded output always remained the same high standard. The mix features music from their their first seven albums with Westbound, Funkadelic, Free Your Mind ( And Your Ass Will Follow ), Maggot Brain, America Eats It Young, Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge of Gettin it on and Let's Take It To The Stage ( I didn't include Tales of Kidd Funkadelic because it was released after the band left Westbound for Warner Brothers, and it was contractual obligation as oppose a labour of funky love, plus it was hard enough breaking down 7 albums into a mix !!! :D ) The mix features many of my favourite tracks from that period and I've chosen the tunes with more of a guitar heavy lean. The Funk however, was never faked. Probably my favourite group of all time, please enjoy a different kind of SOUL !!
