FUNKADELIC Self Titled LP (Westbound 2000, orig 1970) Psych Funk. Condition is Near Mint.

Comes with BONUS 12" Funkadelic By Way of the Drum Extended Version 1989 ***near mint***

Funkadelic is the debut album by the American funk band Funkadelic, released in 1970 on Westbound Records.

It is one of the group's best albums. Great songs like "I'll Bet You" and "I Got a Thing..." are obvious highlights. It retains perhaps a greater sense of classic '60s soul and R&B than any successive George Clinton-affiliated album. No group had managed to effectively balance big, gnarly rock guitars with crooning, heartfelt soul at this point in time quite like Funkadelic. And when Clinton's songs go into their chaotic moments of jamming, there is no mistaking the Hendrix influence. Clinton's half-quirky, half-trippy ad libs during "Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?" and "What Is Soul" can be mistaken for no one else -- they're pure-cut P-Funk.

This self-titled release is a revealing and unique record that's certainly not short on significance, clearly marking the crossroads between '60s soul and '70s funk.
