The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein is an album by funk band Parliament, released in September of 1976. The album is notable for featuring horn arrangements by ex-James Brown band member, Fred Wesley. The album charted at #3 on the Billboard R\u0026amp;B Albums chart, #20 on the Billboard pop chart, and became Parliament's second album to be certified gold. Two singles were released off the album, Do That Stuff, which charted at #22, and Dr. Funkenstein which charted at #43. Parliament was originally The Parliaments, a doo-wop vocal group based at a Plainfield, New Jersey barbershop. The group was formed in the late 1950s and included George Clinton, Ray Davis, Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon, and Grady Thomas. Clinton was the group leader and manager. The group finally had a hit single in 1967 with (I Wanna) Testify on Revilot Records. During a contractual dispute with Revilot, Clinton temporarily lost the rights to the name The Parliaments, and signed the ensemble to Westbound Records as Funkadelic, which Clinton positioned as a funk-rock band featuring the five touring musicians with the five Parliaments singers as uncredited guests. With Funkadelic as a recording and touring entity in its own right, in 1970 Clinton relaunched the singing group, now known as Parliament, at first featuring the same ten members.

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. Mothership Connection went top 20 and platinum stateside. Three singles were taken from the album including an edit of 'Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off That Sucker)' that sold a million copies. • As time has passed and the legend of Funkadelic, Parliament, George Clinton and the entire P-Funk stable has grown new generations of fans and musicians have bought, enjoyed and sampled Mothership Connection. Today it is seen as a classic and essential album. • Ace are delighted to have been able to licence this beauty and are proud to serve this classic on 180gm vinyl.

Demon Records are proud to present Osmium Deluxe - the first recordings credited to the funk-rock ensemble Parliament-Funkadelic. Produced by Ruth Copeland, Osmium offers up a diverse bag of tricks comprising gospel, soul, funk, rock and cod-country arrangements with accompaniment ranging from heavy electric guitar fuzz, acoustic serenity and even bagpipes. Since it's re-release in 1990, Osmium has been distributed numerous times by various labels in America, Europe and Japan under alternate titles - including Rhenium and First Thangs. A number of these reissues have featured material that was not included on the original album, such as unreleased tracks and singles that were taken from the same time. This version compiles together everything from that period onto 2CDs; the full Osmium album, the single sides that never made the album, unreleased tracks, demos and jams. Many of these recordings are still as far-out as they sounded when first released. However, the tracks here represent the genesis of what would become P-Funk and the entity that would give the world ground-breaking albums Maggot Brain (1971), Mothership Connection (1975), and One Nation Under a Groove (1978).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 I Call My Baby Pussycat \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Put Love in Your Life \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Little Old Country Boy \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Moonshine Heather \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Oh Lord, Why Lord\/ Prayer \u003cbr\u003e1.6 My Automobile \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Nothing Before Me But Thang \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Funky Woman \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Livin' the Life \u003cbr\u003e2.2 The Silent Boatman \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Breakdown (Mono Single Version) \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Red Hot Mama \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Loose Booty \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Come in Out of the Rain \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Breakdown (Stereo Unedited Version)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Parliament","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40831327993927,"sku":"44207717","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4306176-3124406_c5a3a7bd-7ddb-424d-a39e-b22006080316.jpg?v=1714217802"},{"product_id":"parliament-clones-of-dr-funkenstein-1","title":"Parliament: Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eClones Of Dr. Funkenstein\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eParliament\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eBeat Goes Public BGP\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e029667024617\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2024-12-06\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eUNITED KINGDOM - IMPORT\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         Vinyl LP pressing. After Mothership Connection came out in 1975 there was speculation as to whether Parliament could come up with something as good. No problem. The seminal The Clones Of Dr Funkenstein album was released in 1976 and is one of the P-Funk crew's finest. It went gold in America peaking at #20 on the Billboard album chart. George Clinton's merry crew included Bootsy Collins (bass), Glen Goins (guitar), Garry Shider (guitar), and Jerome Brailey (drums). Musical arrangements were courtesy of keyboard player Bernie Worrell and former James Brown horn player Fred Wesley. Studio horn players included the legendary Brecker Brothers. Every track was a winner with 'Gamin' on Ya' and 'Children Of Production' crackling with musical electricity. 'Getten' To Know You' was even a romantic ballad - of sorts. 'Everything Is On The One 'was a one song summation of the refreshed Parliament groove philosophy. Clinton of course played the character of Dr. Funkenstein depicted on the iconic front cover whose funk was the best.  Dr. Funkenstein was released as a single and got to #43 in the Billboard R\u0026amp;B chart in February 1977. This is one of Parliament's finest albums and Ace are delighted to make it available just prior to the Christmas rush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Prelude \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Gamin' on Ya \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Dr. Funkenstein \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Children of Production \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Getten' to Know You \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Do That Stuff \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Everything Is on the One \u003cbr\u003e1.8 I've Been Watching You \u003cbr\u003e1.9 (Move Your Sexy Body) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Funkin' for Fun\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Parliament","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41241514737735,"sku":"44763053","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4386517-3291907.jpg?v=1731412380"},{"product_id":"parliament-mothership-connection-vinyl-lp","title":"Parliament: Mothership Connection - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eMothership Connection\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eParliament\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMobile Fidelity\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e821797259217\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2025-09-19\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e2\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003e180 GRAM VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         Get Funked Up with Mothership Connection: Cosmic Parliament Record Ranked the 363rd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, Includes 'Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)'Mobile Fidelity Presents the 1975 Funk Milestone in Audiophile Sound for the First Time for It's 50th Anniversary: 180g 45RPM 2LP Plays with Intoxicating Definition, Immediacy, and Clarity'Do not attempt to adjust your radio. ' The instruction that begins Parliament's Mothership Connection prepares you for an ecstatic journey and establishes the setting for a cosmic trip into galaxies populated with galactic grooves, joyous vibes, cheeky humor, and streetwise slang. This is nearly 39 minutes of some of the best, sweatiest, most enthusiastic funk devised - all laid down by an all-star band bolstered by Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, and Maceo Parker. A perfect storm of creativity, chemistry, and composition overseen by leader George Clinton, the 1975 effort ties together Parliament's then-burgeoning blend of bulbous funk, psychedelic soul, rule-breaking rock, science-fiction fantasy, and Afrofuturism themes in seamless fashion. Having spawned three iconic singles, the record later proved a massive influence on the West Coast hip-hop movement that swept through popular culture in the '90s. Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP presents Mothership Connection in audiophile sound for the first time. Parliament's benchmark benefits from the wide groove space by playing with tauter bass, enhanced definition, and more realistic presence than prior editions. Everything from the brassiness of the horns to the crisp slap of the snare to the fleshy snap of handclaps comes across in full-range perspective. On this reissue, the band's dynamics, hooks, and hip-shaking verve practically explode. No matter where you turn, Mothership Connection grabs and holds your attention. A whole lotta rhythm goin' 'round, indeed. Various Original Masters: seee mofi. Com for detailsNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListSide One:P.
