Rather than gripe about another yet Parliament collection, I'll stick to the merits of this CD, which are considerable. With more tracks than any previous Parliament compilation (except the two-CD anthology) and featuring crisp, booming remastered sound, this is both the place to start for beginners and a welcome place to revisit for the coverted. Get funked!

It doesn't get any better than this. This album has The Best of Parliament - Give Up The Funk beat! And really only because of sound quality. The selections are almost virtually the same. Now I know everyone has their opinion of why people buy Best of's and that it usually only to 'get into the band', I think of them as a nice album on their own. Always check out the original albums the songs came from but this is a fantastic listen from beginning to end.

I have this and Gold. I sold both Give Up The Funk and Tear The Roof Off (1974 - 1980) because I upgraded but the original albums are great in their own right. I just prefer the remastered sound quality. And when you reach a level of quality that you're personally satisfied with, then stop right there. Even if that's the non-remastered versions. The point still comes across either way. We want the funk, gotta have that funk!

That's what P/Funk is and always has been ! The P/Funk collective had many lineup changes but the funky grooves always remained and stayed tight !

I miss that in music today when any idiot with a PC and a drum machine can make a hit song !

Parliament is a great Funk band. Back in the day, many people loved Parliament. Parliament even made it into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

I love p funk don't get me wrong but I'm tired of seeing the same songs on different compilations.
