Description

Regarded by many as the greatest funk album of all time, One Nation Under A Groove was recorded at United Sound in Detroit & included a live track from their concert appearance at the Monroe Civic Center in Louisiana in April 1978. The bands tenth studio album released during September 1978 was also their most commercial & gave the band their first platinum disc. The iconic title track was an international hit and a US R&B No.1. With lead guitarists Michael Hampton & Eddie Hazel dazzling, the personification of funk Bootsy Collins on bass, Bernie Worrell & Walter Junie Morrisons keyboard wizardry & many more, the album was produced by the genius of George Clinton. Regularly ranked at or near the top of various best album lists, One Nation Under A Groove is mastered for vinyl in a deluxe facsimile gatefold sleeve with booklet & lyric inner sleeves, all housed in a protective PVC sleeve. The albums original bonus songs are now included on a second 12-inch Special EP which adds the rare 11-minute Disco Mix of One Nation Under A Groove to replicate the original first UK pressing from 1978. FUNKADELIC Masterminded by the larger-than-life figure of George Clinton, Funkadelic was a key component of his influential P-Funk empire. Funkadelics unique combination of Rock, Psychedelia, R&B & Soul led to the band crossing over to the pop mainstream & gaining a vast international following, becoming one of the most important & influential groups in music. On 6 May 1997, Parliament / Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame by Prince. To commemorate six decades of thrilling & delighting fans, George Clinton returned to the stage in 2022 for a series of concerts. To celebrate, Charly have reissued Funkadelics classic four albums Hardcore Jollies; One Nation Under A Groove; Uncle Jam Wants You; & The Electric Spanking Of War Babies (originally released by Warner Bros during a golden period for the band between 1976-1981).

They played a HUGE role in creating the future of music. PRINCE
