5 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation!!!.......2000-12-16

If you are looking for a compilation of Funkadelic's music, the two CD's to get are Finest from Westbound Records and The Very Best Of Funkadelic (1976-1981) from Charly. Finest is the best compilation of Funkadelic songs from their Westbound era and The Very Best of Funkadelic is the best compilation of songs from the Warner Brothers era. The Very Best of Funkadelic also has two live versions of songs from Funkadelic's Westbound era (Cosmic Slop and Maggot Brain). Of course, this exposure to Funkadelic's music will only leave you craving more.

THis Disc is SOlid.Not the Best From Funkadelic but still a must.The SOngs here speak Volumes&have Inspired Many Artists in All Styles of Music.Funkadelic is in it's Own Category.check out their Back Catelog.

4 out of 5 stars A solid overview.......1999-11-03

2 caveats must be kept in mind with this record:

1) Like all compilations, it's inevitable to bemoan a certain missing track or 2. (I would have liked to see "Adolescent Funk" and the title track from the "Hardcore Jollies" album.) An unreleased track or 2 would have been nice as well.

2) Hardcore P-Funk fans have long debated the merits of the post-Westbound era Funkadelic-less guitar-oriented, closer to mainstream '70's R&B and dance music, and less gritty, dark lyrics. Your affection for this record will depend on whether you view the WB-era Funkadelic as a great funk-dance band, or a sellout and betrayal of the earlier, rawer Funkadelic.

That said, this is a great compilation, weeding out the best (and, not coincidentally, most popular) music from this classic band's later period. I personally prefer the early Funkadelic, but still enjoy the hits for what they are. It's not the best P-Funk (Standing on the Verge still has my vote) but for a primer to the later years, this will do nicely.

      This compilation has been released and rereleased shamelessly over the years. The same music, but with different packaging. Ironically, a shameless ripoff such as this one is a must for Funkadelic fans. No, it's not at all the ideal overview, but I can't complain about much here. Still, I can complain about some things: Icka Prick and the Sly Stone collaboration Funks Gets Stronger are both far from the group's best songs: I would've rather heard either the title song to Hardcore Jollies (its inclusion would've rended that album inessential) or a full verison of (Not Just) Knee Deep. One Nation Under a Groove is an essential album, but they rounded up the three best tracks (title song; Cholly; Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!), but this is the only album perfectly represented. The liner notes are a minus: besides being skimpy, they also misspell the "Motown" label "Mowtown", and refer to Parliament as the Parliaments.
