George Clinton

• Clear splattered vinyl

There's nothing quite like the experience of an authentic P-funk show. Given the fact their music always sounded like a raucous live jam even in the studio, George Clinton's assembled throng of Parliament Funkadelic visionaries were already hardwired to take it to the stage.

There are plenty of essential eras for this most mighty of funk phenomena, and here's a recording from one such period in 1989. There's everything you could wish for from Clinton and his crew, with some of the greatest P-funk anthems slipping in alongside some deeper cuts, all delivered in that thrilling, anything-could-happen extended style that defines the live sound of this most vital of funky forces.
