Up For The Down Stroke (Remastered & Expanded)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 68415) Mercury, 1974 — Condition: New Copy

The first album that Parliament cut after their trippy fuzzed-out headblast Osmium. The record features a much more stripped down sound – nice and funky, with a blueprint of the bass-driven groove that would dominate the P-Funk sound of the 70s. Bootsy's on bass, and the group features Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, and other likely suspects. Includes the monster jammer "Up For The Down Stroke", plus other goodies like "The Goose", "Testify", "Presence Of A Brain", and "All Your Goodies Are Gone", as well as bonus tracks "Up For The Down Stroke" (alternate mix), "Testify" (alternate mix), and previously unreleased track "Singing Another Song".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Also available:
Parliament — Up For The Down Stroke ... LP $9.99
