Mothership Connection (Vinyl) (Reissue) (Import)
Back in 1975 Parliament found the perfect groove releasing two seminal albums in the same year. First up was “Chocolate City” that celebrated the love of the band generated by Washington DC and this was followed up by “Mothership Connection”, widely considered to be the perfect example of P-Funk.
George Clinton led his Funkadelic/Parliament troops into the galaxy long before Star Wars came along to join in on the fun. • Featuring a galactic line-up that included Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Maceo Parker, Fred Welsey, Gary Shiner, Glen Goins and even the Brecker Bothers on horns this album kicks funky butt from the opening blast of ‘P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up)’ right to the very last drop of ‘Night Of The Thumpasorus Peoples’. It’s a joyous album and as well as spawning the ‘Star Child’ character on the title track saw the band start to tour with a spaceship as a stage prop paid for by record label Casablanca.
