Uncle Jam Wants You
LP (Item 8691) Warner, 1979 — Condition: Near Mint- Gatefold
Related searches
One of our favorite Funkadelic albums ever – a tightly grooving classic that never lets up at all! There's a sense of perfection to everything here – one that really gets the group past their tripped-out early years, and firmly into the sublime territory George Clinton hit with Parliament – an amazing sound that's wrapped up perfectly on every single track – grooves that definitely raised the bar for a huge amount of mainstream funk acts who were popping up at the time. Production is never too slick, and there's still lots of tasty guitar licks wrapped up in the mix – and titles include the classics "Freak Of The Week" and "Not Just Knee Deep" – plus "Field Maneuvers", "Holly Wants To Go To California", and "Foot Soldiers". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has light wear and a cutout mark.)
Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Funkadelic
Hardcore JolliesWarner, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold
One of the sweetest Funkadelic albums from the middle period, and a good batch of tracks that often gets overlooked in the haze of similar Pedro Bell covers! Don't miss this one, though – because it is a very strong album – key in the shift from more guitar-based funk to more groove-ori ... LP, Vinyl record album
Bill Cosby
Silver Throat – Bill Cosby SingsWarner, 1967. Very Good+
A weird little record from Bill Cosby – a set that's not as all-out funky as some of his other vocal albums, but still pretty nice overall! The style here is more bluesy than soul-based, but production is still by Fred Smith, of 103rd Street Rhythm Band fame – and the album has a sense ... LP, Vinyl record album
Lorraine Ellison
Stay With MeWarner, 1969. Near Mint-
Deep deep soul from Lorraine Ellison – a record that already shows quite a bit of growth from her earlier Warner Brothers recordings – and a new sense of hipness as well! There's definitely an influence here of the sound of Stax and Atlantic Records at the end of the 60s – all ... LP, Vinyl record album
Martha Velez
American HeartbeatWarner, 1977. Near Mint-
One of the more polished efforts we've heard from singer Martha Velez – but one that's done in a way that really stays true to her sound! Given that Martha started out as sort of a soul/rock crossover artist at the beginning of the 70s, this album marks a nice evolution into more ... LP, Vinyl record album
Time
Ice Cream CastleWarner, 1984. Near Mint-
Classic! The third LP from the Time, and last before Morris Day went off and started his solo career – though by this point Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had departed the group. Nonetheless, the sound is still tight modern funk, with Jesse Johnson and crew keeping things in the great post-Prince ... LP, Vinyl record album
Eugene Record
Eugene RecordWarner, 1977. Very Good+
A great solo moment from Eugene Record – the singer who'd rose to fame with The Chi-Lites, and who still sounds pretty darn great here on his own! The album follows strongly from the best late styles of Record's previous group – and the tunes are a mix of ballads that Eugene could ... LP, Vinyl record album
Bootsy Collins
Back In The Day – The Best Of BootsyWarner, Late 70s/Early 80s. Very Good+ 2LP
A funky trip through the classic Warner Brothers recordings of P-Funk maestro Bootsy Collins! The set's a pretty great introduction to Bootsy's work, and includes some of his best numbers, plus a great set of notes that will really help you navigate his rich career. There's a total of 14 tracks, ... LP, Vinyl record album
Madleen Kane
Rough DiamondWarner, 1978. Near Mint-
Hard to believe that anyone would call Madleen Kane a rough diamond – especially with her polished look on the cover, and an equally polished set of grooves underneath! The album features arrangements from the team of Tony Lester and Thor Baldurson – and you can definitely hear ... LP, Vinyl record album
Lorraine Ellison
Best Of Lorraine Ellison – Philadelphia's Queen Of SoulWarner (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. Near Mint-
A great collection of tracks by one of the most-overlooked female singers of the late 60s! The set is great, and the overall sound is a mix of smooth production with Lorraine's raw gospelly vocals – and tracks include "Stay With Me", "A Good Love", "Many Rivers To ... LP, Vinyl record album
Bootsy Collins
Bootsy? Player Of The YearWarner, 1978. Very Good Gatefold
What can we say? Bootsy's on top of the world here – not only The Player Of The Year, but also the most soulful artist in the P-Funk stable, and a master of the smooth, sly, slinky groove that would forever be taken up by bands from LA – both in the immediate soul years and in later ... LP, Vinyl record album
Darrell Banks
Here To StayVolt, 1969. Near Mint-
Incredible work from the great Darrell Banks – one of the few albums this genius Detroit soul singer cut before his untimely early death! Darrell's got a raw sound and a way with a groove that makes him a perfect choice for late 60s Stax/Volt Records – and he works here with Detroit ... LP, Vinyl record album
James Brown
Soul SyndromeTK, 1980. Near Mint-
A rare TK Records effort from James Brown – very much in the best uptempo funk mode of the later Polydor years! The groove here is quite similar to those better-known efforts – grooves that are a bit quicker than a few years before, but still played in a core JB funky style – ... LP, Vinyl record album
