I have the Slaughter on CD, a Japanese import. I really like
Transmograpfication (what does that mean?), To My Brother and the
unedited version of Brother Rap (no "live with audience"). I'd like to
see the "Unity" album re-issued too.

I wonder if Black Caesar or Slaughter's Big Rip-Off are available on
video ? Also, is there a film called "It's Hell Up in Harlem" ? And,
have Alan Leeds' "Complete JB Discography" or Cliff White's JB biography
published yet ? Lastly, are the re-issue CDs out yet in US ?

The film Black Ceaser is availible on video. It's not bad for blacxploitation
fair. I believe it stars Fred Williamson in the title role. It's directed by
Larry (it's alive) Cohen. The soundtrack seems to be the real star though.

I purchased "The Woman I Am" and it, IMHO, is mediocre.  There are a
couple of tunes I like, but I guess I miss her old sound and feel.  I
think Chaka has a phenomenal voice -- maybe she's not getting the
direction she needs.  I saw her in July at the Riverfront Festival in
Cincinnati (formerly the Kool Jazz Festival) and I truthfully couldn't
wait for her show to end so the next act could come on.  She does not
put on very good performances.

And to the original poster, Darryl, Chaka once did a show in Dayton some
years ago and she reportedly was TRASHED beyond belief.  She was booed
off the stage and never again returned to Dayton to perform.  (BTW,
how's life at AFIT?).

Well, Bootsy is on the latest Deee-Lite album. Plays a lot I must say. Also
Bernie Worrell had a hand on it. Furthermore Fred Wesley and Maceo are on it
(aka the Horny Horns, well sort of). Catfish is on there too. And I can keep
on going cause even Mudbone is doing some vocals. So I guess you could say
the P is in full strength on the album.

The album has it's good and bad moments. Favorites, for me ;-), are:
Pussycat Meow, Rubber Lover and some more (must say I haven't played the thing
lately).

I also got my hands on a rather cool boot of a Funkadelic concert from 76 in
Detroit!!! (FUNKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!)


I want to know if anyone knows anything about a group called Praxis I think.
Saw a video of them at the weekend on MTV (Europe). And you could wonder why I
am asking this. Well Bootsy and Bernie played in it!

Info would be cool.

All of Bootsy are out on CD by the way. I have all of his stuff on CD (except
for Ah .. The name is Bootsy, Baby coz I hav't on vinyl).

While the music's the thang, you are missing out on Pedro Bell's cool
artwork by just having the tape.

But then, when the cd's come out, you contend with itsy-bitsy artwork
anyway.

How about a nifty limited edition 12x12 cd package reproducing the
artwork from the originals? Maybe a box set of some sort?

In any case, the print ads here say Bootsy is definitely on the bill.

Yes yes - SLAVE!

I have the album with a bodybuilder on the front, holding up a silver
sphere, sort of like Atlas holding up the world. 

Been a few months since I listened to it; but I know that the song
with the old-fashioned bicycle or car horn is one of my all-around
favorites. And aren't there pictures of each member on the back of the
sleeve, and it says something really funny about the really wacked-out
looking guy who you just KNOW is the one who's playing the bicycle
horn!

I just discovered Slave about three years ago, at the same time as I
discovered Brass Construction and Foxy.

I was funked by Bootsy, George and the All Stars five days
ago here in Atlanta and I'm still recovering.

In the middle of the show everybody started sceaming "We want Bootsy"
and then he came out and funked us with the space bass for about
20 minutes and then wandered through the crowd for about 10 more 
touching everybody.

George said that this tour is sort of for practice and so they can
raise enough money to bring home the mothership! So if you miss them
this time maybe they`ll be back around soon.

keep on funkin'

Not bad, but not as good as the previous one.  It kind of grows on
you though.  The songs are more diverse and there are some good guest
raps by Speech of Arrested Development, Michael Franti of the 
Disposable Heroes and reggae/dub style from Jamal-ski.  The horn 
lines are very subtle.  This is one of the first CD releases using the
EcoPak style jewel box which has about half the plastic, and the design
is very cool.  Don't rush out to buy it, but its worth a listen.

DO IT!!!!!

It was incredable!!
I saw them at the Belly Up Tavern in San Diego.
They played from 9:30 pm to 1:30 pm.  By the time
it was done I needed a wheel chair to get out of there.
My entire body was so worn out from FOUR hours of
non stop dancing that I could barely walk.

The only drawback was the Bootsy only came out for
2 songs (about 1/2 hour).


Absolutely heavenly "Comsic Slop"

Yeah... I can see how this might happen - I'm a big fan of some of Chaka's
stuff ("What'cha Gonna Do For Me" is my favourite, along with some Rufus
things), but I went to see her play here a few years ago, with Third World
as the support. Third World burned up the place, but people were walking
out of the hall all through Chaka's set, including me...  she was coming
on like a bad heavy metal band, and it was pretty sad to see.

Despite all this, I still liked her last album, "C.K." - there's a couple
of jazz tunes on there that I rate amongst her best work.

  Regarding the "unlistenably bad" sound quality of "Free Your Mind," I 
have the cassette reissue of this album.  If you're referring to the 
harshness, jarring stereo separation, and so forth, sorry: that's how it's 
supposed to sound.
  "Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic" should be out by the end of the year, since 
it is on Westbound.  Clinton owns the master tapes of all the other 
albums, but hasn't done anything with them yet.  I'm waiting.
  Incidentally, the new "Who's A Funkadelic?" (originally "Connections and 
Disconnections") is an album by three of the original Parliaments singers 
(Calvin Simon, Fuzzy Haskins, Grady Thomas) who left P-Funk in 1977.  
Although Haskins co-wrote some of the early Funkadelic songs, these three 
had very little to do with what made P-Funk great.  This sold some copies 
in 1980, but while I've not heard the album, I suspect it is to be 
avoided like the plague.

Organization: IBM Almaden Research Center

First off, I want to thank the person who initially posted the tour
dates, as that posting allowed me to snag 4th row seats at the
Berkeley Community Theatre for the show this past Saturday night.
It was excellent and lived up to my very high expectations from the
last time I saw the P. Funkers at the Warfield.  I urged my friends to
buy tickets while the good ones were available and those who went for
it were thoroughly satisfied.  The audience callout for Bootsy was
probably my favorite part.  This show was much shorter than the others
I've heard about, only running about 2-1/2 hours.  I think that's
because there had been riots at Berkeley High (where the BCT is) last
weekend and they didn't want it to run past 11.  Still we got our
money's worth.

Also, I heard that they played at Bimbo's on Sunday night in San
Francisco.  Bimbo's is a styling club with only occasional gigs.  I've
never been there but I hear it's great.  Stevie Wonder apparently sat
in on keyboard (and obligatory vocals) at that show.  Sorry I missed
it but I was pretty thrashed from Saturday night.

Finally, a question:  Isn't there a George Clinton album named
"Computer Games"?  I remember one George Clinton album being named in
the top 100 albums of the last 30 years in Rolling Stone a couple of 
years back and I thought this was the title but I've never seen it.  
Is this the name of an album or am I mis-remembering?  If it is, is it
available on CD?  Is it good?

 They are very good(wonder if there's material for a third CD) but questions 
 appear in my mind as I listen to them. 

 Which are the men talking on Soul Power 74 and another track. I can't recognize
 MLK or Malcolm X voices but I suspect James Brown used parts of the records they
 released. Also the tiny snippets of live performance in the beginning of "I'm 
 paying taxes but what am I buying" and at the end of another track. Are they 
 from Revolution of the Mind-Live at the Apollo pt.3?

 I saw that Polydor have released a live recording called "James Brown live in 
 Paris". This must be parts of the never released "Live at the Astoria" three LP
 set that was mentioned in the 4-CD James Brown Box. In the box there is a track
 from this live recording that I like but is the new CD worth buying.
