HASKINS FUZZY - VINYL WHOLE NOTHER THANG [VINYL]

Popis - WHOLE NOTHER THANG [VINYL]:
RSD 2019 release. A co-founder of the P-Funk movement, Clarence Eugene "Fuzzy" Haskins was born in West Virginia in 1941 and started as a singer in the doo-wop vocal group The Parliaments, led by George Clinton in the late 1950s. He was a founding member of the groundbreaking and influential 1970s funk bands PARLIAMENT-FUNKADELIC. His 1976 solo album features funk all-stars from the likes of Bernie Worrell, Donald Austin and Bootsy Collins. Haskins wrote eight of the nine songs and served as producer, singer, songwriter, guitarist and even drummer. The result was an album that oozed quality. With his brand of earthy and heavyweight funk, Fuzzy Haskins' solo work fits right in with many of the other great P-Funk side projects. Also featured on the album is the track 'Cookie Jar', which was later recorded by Prince. Despite the quality of music, the album didn't sell in vast quantities and didn't find the audience it deserved. 'A Whole Nother Thang' is a true gem to funk fans, mint vinyl copies are hard to find and pricey these days. If you are a funkateer, this ones for you. Originally released on Westbound Records in 1976, now back available (for the first time since 1976) as a limited deluxe 180 gram vinyl edition (1000 copies) packaged in a gatefold jacket featuring the original artwork and liner notes.
