80年代P-FUNKの大傑作と言われるアルバムで、パーラメントやファンカデリックが解散状態にあった時期に、P-FUNK軍団総出演で、George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Gary Shider, Eddie Hazel, Fred Wesley に加え、Sly Stone やBobby Womack も参加して制作されました。
なにしろこのバンド破綻寸前というか破綻してるんでしょう。パーラメントが所属していたカサブランカ・レコードが、親会社ポリグラムによる買収や経営上の混乱で崩壊、バンド名の権利や過去の作品の印税トラブル、大規模な「マザーシップ」ツアーによる負債や、ずさんな経理管理により、グループの財政は破綻寸前の状態にあり、契約上のトラブル、深刻な財政難、により中心メンバーは相次いで脱退していったので「法的に使えなくなったバンド名の代わり」として新たに名乗った P-Funk All-Stars での起死回生の一発になったわけです。全盛期の活動を終えて破綻していた Sly Stone の助け舟みたいな側面もあるんですかね。
いつもの混沌としたファンクだけではなく、クラシックなソウルもあり、ミャミャミャ~とくるニヤニヤしてしまう作品です。
ライナーノーツの冒頭部分も弾けてます
Attention War Babies! For the past two years the leaders of the movement to rescue dance music from the BLAHS, affectionately known to the public as UNCLE JAM'S ARMY, have been forced to carry on their campaign against the fake FUNK from the lowest level of reality, going underground and choosing to shake the established music industry with hits where it hurts — on the dancefloor. And now as the war cries of "WOOF" are being shouted from every club and concert dancefloor across the ONE NATION, the people most affected by the system's onslaught of repetitious mind-numbing cow-like moosick are now totally stirred up against such trash. Most of all they need the FUNK, and nothing but the P. ~~
