CD Description
Despite it's misleading title, Funkadelic's LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE is not a live album. This 1975 studio release iswhat many Funkadelic aficionados consider the band's last true rock-funk album, before Clinton and Co. concentrated entirely on more dance-based and radio-friendly material. It isalso the first Parliament-Funkadelic release to prominentlyfeature the talents of the groups' recently acquired bassist, the outrageous Bootsy Collins, whom many regard as the very embodiment of funk. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE also findsParliament-Funkadelic on the verge of shedding its long-lived cult status and finally reaching wide spread commercial success.
The title track, in which shots are taken at other popular '70s funk figures (such as Sly and even the Godfather of Soul, James Brown), gloriously displays the band's sense of humor. So do the sexually suggestive "No Head No Backstage Pass" and the album's party-anthem highlight, "Get OffYour Ass And Jam". Other top funk workouts include "Stuffs & Things", "Better By The Pound", "Good To Your Earhole", the more serene "Be My Beach", and the album-closing, largely instrumental "Atmosphere". LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE continues Funkadelic's winning '70s streak.
