A previously-unissued album from Funkadelic -- originally done for MCA Records at the end of the 80s, but only now finally seeing the light of day! The set's a great continuation of the P-Funk groove that George Clinton set down on his solo albums for Capitol during the earlier part of the decade -... read more

A surprisingly wonderful record! Back in the day, we remember that we didn't like these later P-Funk albums because they weren't as druggy, trippy, or guitar heavy as the early stuff. Now, though, they sound pretty darn sweet to our ears -- especially this one, which has lots of cool pre-electro... read more

An essential bit of funkiness from this obscure New Orleans funk combo! The Gaturs' frontman was keyboardist Willie Tee -- who went on to greater fame as a jazz and session player -- but we like him best at this early point, when he was wailing away on organ in a tight choppy small group setting. ... read more

In our humble opinion, just about every track that Marvin recorded for Motown is "great" -- but since this set's focused on the hits, we're happy to accept their track selection, and admit they do a pretty good job of covering most of the big bases -- early solo gems, duet classics, and... read more

One of the few cases in the history of pop music where the record is worth all the hype! Marvin blew everyone's mind when he unleashed this amazing suite of political soul tunes -- not only just because he'd moved past the simple love songs of earlier years, but also because he was working with an... read more

A surprisingly nice album -- even if you're not a fan of Diana Ross! Given that Marvin and Diana are standing back to back on the front cover, we kind of get the idea that there wasn't as much sympathy in the session as on some of Marvin's classic duet sides from the 60s with Tammi Terrell -- but... read more

Al Green's first LP -- with a very different feel than his later work on Hi!
