Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The legendary second album (1970) from Funkadelic - remastered from original tapes for the first time in 15 years. This album's title track is the sort of spaced-out acid-funk that is a big influence with artists such as Spiritualized and Primal Scream. This 2005 CD features the original six track album plus the non-album B-side "Fish Chips And Sweat", "Free Your Mind Radio Advert", and the radically different single versions - vocal and instrumental - of "I Wanna Know If It's Good To You". The booklet includes in-depth sleeve notes by funk expert Dean Rudland, with details of the history of the band and this recording, and an interview with eyewitnesses to their 1971 UK tour. The booklet includes lots of pictures, memorabilia and adverts related to this release. Westbound U.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pharmecutical Explanation., October 20, 2006

By	Steven Majors "The Music Man" (Washington Dc) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When i first heard this album, i was hypnotized by the funk. Honestly, this album was recorded while the fellas was all high on acid. (That's what George Clinton said). My fav is "Some More" with Bernie rockin' the Hammond B3. It's a bluesy type of song, but oh so funky! The late Eddie Hazel in my opinion was the greatest guitarist (other than the late Jimi Hendricks. If you like rock, and I mean acid rock, cop this peice here. The title cut is also a good song to just listen to ...as a matter of fact, put ur headset on and I guarentee, you will think you're trippin on some stuff! I can't believe how far these guys have come. Tiki Fullwood (Drums)(RIP) Eddie Hazel (Guitar) (Rip), Tawl Ross (Guitar), Bernie Worrell (Keyboards), George Clinton, Calvin Simon, Grady Thomas, Ray Davis. (Parliament) Get this album along with Live @ Meadowbrook.......

5.0 out of 5 stars I Know That It Must Have Been Good To You Baby, September 14, 2006

By	BKenny "BK" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

"cause you're still buying Funkadelic albums! This album was out there!! "Friday Night" is a hard jam as well as "Free Your Mind". this is all rock baby! "I Wanna Know If It's Good" the "Funkadeletts" give you a taste of their sensual yet strong voices--George really knows how how to pic 'em. This album I did not appreciate when i first heard it but, as I grew up I was like wow! This stuff is tight!! The funk is in your face and these musicians really rock a house--The original Funkadelics should be inducted again into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Very excellent work for some very young musicians. The Parliaments are truly doing their thing with the vocals and this album has a lot of energy. Funkadelic set a tone and my hat's off to Bernie Worrell! He rocked those keys like Eddie and Tawl rocked those guitars! There is no other keyboard player like Bernie Worrell in rock music ---probably never will be. These are very innovative people who moved a world--they are still rockin' and funkin' all over the planet.

1.0 out of 5 stars Classic Album / Awful Remaster , May 8, 2008

By	T. Semioli (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As stated in the previous reviews, this indeed is a psychedlic soul classic. However I picked up this Westbound re-issue at a retail shop in NYC and was mortified at how poor the sound was. My wife thought I was playing a worn cassette.I'm no audiophile, but the quality of this so-called remaster is not worth purchasing. I'm keeping an eye out for a used vinyl copy at local antique shops and fairs. I hope this record will get a proper re-issue akin to the great Sony Legacy series, or Rhino.
