5.0 out of 5 stars ParliaMix...., December 16, 2001

This review is from: Parliament's Greatest Hits -- Uncut Funk...The Bomb (Audio CD)

...this is the original Casablanca Records production of P Funk's
greatest hits, it came before their Casablanca Records phabuloso
phunkay swansong "Trumpbibulation" (which is a no holds barred production I wish they'd bring back) and Funkadelic's "Electric Spanking of War Babies". You can probably find this in vinyl somewheres like Amazon's z-shops or [another internet retailer]. It is about an hour of wall to wall phunk. The cuts I don't care for are the newer cuts, "Aqua Boogie" and "Theme From the Black Hole", but one can see how they fit into the ParliaUniverse and the overall scheme of things. I call it Parliamix in that you can put the CD on and let it ride, no muss, no fuss, mo phunk. It is not spozed to be for the diehards out there, just the casual listener and the bootay shakers. A bit like music for your Momma, but with a wink, wink. For mine, the low keyed "Chocolate City" and "P-Funk" is worth the 12 dollar pricetag on this...sure there's many others collections out there. But you figure the average customer ain't pristine purists and over the top collectors--they are evvyday folks who want to just jam evvy now and then. This will help them fit the bill.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Bomb is a bomb (not the best of...), July 25, 2008

I bought this CD when it came out in the early 1990s. Most of the tracks on this CD are edited / cut, probably for radio air play. If you want a Parliament Greatest Hits CD, purchase "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Parliament" on Island / Mercury label. It contains virtually the same list of songs, and nearly every track is 3 or 4 minutes longer (the original album edits). Plus the digitally re-mastered sound is spectacular.

when this came out on Disc this was cool as a First Overview for a Greatest Hits COmpilation.it was a cool intro then as now."FlashLight","Chocolate City","Up FOr The Down Stroke",etc...for a Casual P-Funk Fan or New Fan this is a Cool Place to Ride on The MotherShip.but when you want more the Journey is Endless.
