Parliament

First Thangs is a 1992 compilation CD by Parliament. Its first "thangs" consists of the group's 1970 debut album, Osmium (songs 7-16) and a small handful of songs recorded for singles or during the recording sessions for the album. A few were previously unreleased at the time of release. This was released by HDH via Fantasy jazz.

Live P-Funk Earth Tour is the first and only official live album by Parliament, released as a double record in 1977. It consists of songs recorded during The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein tour, plus a song and a cut-in made specifically for the album. The original vinyl pressing features an early Parliament song, "Fantasy Is Reality", which was left off of this compact disc pressing since its duration would have made it surpass the time limits of a CD. For the lossless version, I have added the FLAC file in a folder called "Bonus Track". The file was taken from the CD First Thangs, which I recently re-upped if you wish to read the EAC/technical info. For the MP3 version, it is included in the lineup as the last song, as originally intended.

Chocolate City is the 1975 album by Parliament. This was the first of two albums the band released in 1975, the other being Mothership Connection. This is from the 1990 CD pressing released by Casablanca/Polydor that is "unmastered".

"Trombipulation" is the 9th album by the funk band Parliament. It was released by Casablanca Records. It was the last album of original material produced by the group for 38 years until Medicaid Fraud Dogg in 2018. Unlike previous Parliament albums, George Clinton did not serve as sole producer of the album, as other P-Funk figures assisted in producing individual tracks. Bassist Bootsy Collins emerged as the principal musician on this album, playing virtually all of the instruments on a number of tracks. The track "Let's Play House" was sampled by the Hip-Hop group Digital Underground for their single "The Humpty Dance". While Trombipulation wasn't as commercially successful as previous Parliament albums, its first single, "Agony of DeFeet" peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

Up For The Down Stroke is the 1974 album by Parliament. This was their first album in four years and their first release for Casablanca Records. This is from the 1990 CD pressing that is "unmastered".

Motor Booty Affair is the 1978 album by Parliament, released on Casablanca. It features such songs as "(You're A Fish And I'm A) Water Sign", "Rumpofsteelskin", and "Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)". This is from the 1990 CD pressing that is "unmastered".

Parliament Inspired by Motown's assembly line of sound, George Clinton gradually put together a collective of over 50 musicians and recorded the ensemble during the '70s both as Parliament and Funkadelic. While Funkadelic pursued band-format psychedelic rock, Parliament engaged in a funk free-for-all, blending influences from the godfathers (James Brown and Sly Stone) with freaky costumes and themes inspired by '60s acid culture and science fiction. From Parliament's 1970 inception until Clinton's dissolving of the band in 1980, they hit the R&B Top Ten with funk classics such as "Up for the Down Stroke," "Tear the Roof Off the Sucker (Give Up the Funk)," "Flast Light," and "Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)."
