Parliament
Osmium

1970's "Osmium" was Parliament's debut album and possibly the first real
 indicator of where George Clinton and his notorious band of psychedelic
funksters might be headed. The ground zero of P-Funk if you will. Existing
since the late 50's as a doo-wop group it was the bands later offerings that
sculpted their unique, mildly warped idea of what the FUNK should sound like.
Initially they cut a couple of 45's for Detroit Soul label Invictus in 1970 (both
of which appear on the LP) then embarked on recording more music for the
project, their first full length offering on the label. The group also released
the debut Funkadelic LP in the same year with both albums feature the same
personnel. The conditions under which "Osmium" was realised have since passed
off into mythical status with colourful anecdotes involving marathon LSD
consuming sessions in isolation in their Toronto studio and a general air of
hallucinatory, intense mental psychosis prevailing throughout. It's under this druggy
haze that Parliament honed their own sound, a raucous, blown out, tripping stew
 of R&B, Blues, Soul and Funk replete with early P-Funk trappings. "Osmium" is a fascinating ride, wild, rampaging heaviness of the most soulful kind.
 A glimpse into what was to come from one of the most enduring and colourful
groups of the last 5 decades. Often a very difficult LP to track down it has always
been sought after and extremely expensive to buy. Appealing to fans of Black music,
Rock and psychedelia equally it's contents have shocked, entertained and
grooved open minded music lovers since it's release over 40 years ago. This is the first time the record has been reissued in over a decade,
complete with original artwork. Remastered, reissued and fully licensed with
the full permission and involvement of Invictus Records, Detroit.

We put the LP and the jacket in an LP plastic sleeve. 
We do NOT open sealed LPs unless requested. 
We cushion the LP in bubble wrap and use shipping tape 
on all spines to protect the integrity of the box, and to 
insure the safety of the contents. All this is included in
