This collection has the classic Parliament sound all over it. It almost plays like a Parliament album that was never released. For a funkateer by birth like me, this was like finding the pots of scripture in Nag Hammadi. This is a truly exceptional collection of rare and once lost gems of the one of the best crews of musicians to ever record. The P-Funk Family and the Funk Brothers are the best groups to record so this is essential for really fans of the P-Funk sound. You won't be disappointed at all. For Collectors only though. Average listeners should leave these for a collectors I think.
