4.0 out of 5 stars Bootsy fulfill's the Doctor of Funk's prescription, August 5, 2001

This review is from: Glory B Da' Funk's on Me! The Bootsy Collins Anthology (Audio CD)

Finally! An anthology album of Bootsy's that is worthy of being released! You have all the 1970's classics on this double disc, and respect from his "The One Giveth...The Count Taketh Away" LP with "Rag Poppin'" and "Landshark (Just when You Thought It Was Safe)" and "Take A Lickin' and Keep On Kickin'". See my review on that album, a must for Bootsy fans and P-Funk fans alike. I give this album a four (Yes I am tough ranking on this one) because it doesn't have the cuts "Rubber Duckie" from the "Aaaah, The Name Is Bootsy" LP and "So Nice You Name Him Twice" from the "The One Giveth..." LP. I am quite pleased to hear "Freak To Freak". A lost classic. I actually forgotten this song. Yes, even lost funk classics slip out of the Doctor of Funk's mind too. Just like the funk Classic "Work That Sucker To Death". Yes shame shame shame on me. Anyhow, It is nice to ride around in the company van listening to Bootsy and not changing CD's just to hear all of your favorite jams. If it is a 30 minute drive somewhere, you can only listen to three or four good Bootsy-tickin' jams. Now with either one of these two CD's, you don't have to fumble around in traffic. Now if we can get the five-star CD, the ultimate Bootsy collection with other Non-Warner Jams like "Jungle Bass" and "Party on Plastic". Until next review, Keep Da Funk Alive!

5.0 out of 5 stars The 2nd best Bootsy Collins Collection, May 8, 2003

This review is from: Glory B Da' Funk's on Me! The Bootsy Collins Anthology (Audio CD)

Glory Be Da Funk's On Me: The Bootsy Collins Anthology is the 2nd best anthology from Rhino Records. It's more better than Back In The Day: The Best Of Bootsy because you get a better story on his life. Today, I'll like to tell you about the package and the understanding of the anthology.

The Package
Well, first of all the package is better. It is all about unfolding and folding the digipak. When you unfold the first layer of the package, you'll see his band, Bootsy's Rubber Band in cartoon form. The best of all, when you unfold the other layer of the package you will see Bootsy happy and joyful, with his old little costume. The plastic disc holders are wonderful because you see another Bootsy photo. You also get a special and funny message but, I'm not going to tell you what it is.

The Understanding
You have to understand that this covers Bootsy's Warner years from 1976 to 1982. This doesn't feature highlights from his 1988 comeback album on Columbia Records. The sound masters are very great. The booklet is very informative and it's fully cocked with rare photos and liner notes. It also has a selected discography... I think Rhino Records is the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars glory b da' funk's on me! the bootsy collins anthology, February 8, 2002

This review is from: Glory B Da' Funk's on Me! The Bootsy Collins Anthology (Audio CD)

As a teenager growing up in Ohio in the mid to late seventies, I
was exposed to funk on a regular basis. Bootsy was always one of
my crews favorites. He was the entire package, just like this
disc. If you're a true funk fan, and I am, you'll treasure this
disc like a gold bullion. I got it about 3 months ago, and I can't stop listening to it. I especially like that almost all of
the songs are the long versions, and not the single versions you
get on some greatest hits discs.
