PARLET - CD PLEASURE PRINCIPLE

Popis - PLEASURE PRINCIPLE:
Of George Clinton's two girl groups, The Brides of Funkenstein commanded the lioness share of attention, but Parlet was the funkier of the two; in Clinton put it, "sexual satisfaction guaranteed, that's what this group is all about!" Parlet's roots actually went way back in the Parliament/Funkadelic cosmology; singers Jeanette Washington and Debbie Wright were the first female members of the band, and the third member of the trio, Mallia Franklin, introduced Uncle Jam to Bootsy Collins, and Bootsy became a full-fledged member of Funkadelic and was an instrumental part of their America Eats Its Young album released on Westbound in 1972. Franklin and Wright were gone by the time Parlet's second album, Invasion of the Booty Snatchers, was recorded, replaced by Shirley Hayden and Janice Evans, so calling Parlet a "group" is a little bit of a misnomer. Instead, these records are production vehicles for Clinton (and, on the second album, former Invictus writer/producer Ron Dunbar) and his rotating cast of characters, including Collins, Glenn Goins, Bernie Worrell, Fred Wesley, Gary Shider and other members of the Mothership. Which is hardly a bad thing; any Parliament/Funkadelic fan is going to want these, especially since they were only briefly out on CD in Japan in the early 90s and command stratospheric prices if you can find em. The Real Gone reissues sport liner notes from Parliament/Funkadelic's own former Minister of Information, Tom Vickers, plus photos from his archive and a fresh remastering job by Maria Triana at Battery Studios. Funky, sassy, soulful n sexy! The complete 1978 release.
