Regular price £29.00 Save £-29.00Product Description
-
Funkadelic’s
eleventh
studio
LP,
released
in
1979,
was
more
militant
in
tone
than
its
predecessor
'One
Nation
Under
A
Groove'
which
described
a
Funk
utopia.
In
contrast,
‘Uncle
Jam
Wants
You’
stated
mandate
was
to
“rescue
dance
music
from
the
blahs”.
The
album
features
a
15-minute
version
of
what
was
to
become
the
Funkadelic’s
last
hit
single
‘(Not
Just)
Knee
Deep’,
an
edited
version
of
which
made
no.1
in
the
US
R&B
chart.
This
was
Funkadelic’s
first
album
since
1972
not
to
feature
a
cover
design
by
artist
Pedro
Bell
(although
he
did
contribute
the
interior
design).
A
reference
to
the
“Uncle
Sam
Wants
You!”
US
Army
recruitment
poster,
the
sleeve
depicts
George
Clinton
aka
Dr
Funkenstein
in
a
Huey
Newton

influence
on
Prince,
The
Red
Hot
Chilli
Peppers,
Bill
Laswell,
Tupac
Shakar,
De
La
Soul
and
many
more
across
all
musical
genres.
George

genius
Funk
&
Style
will

to
be
an
influence
for
many
more
years
to
come...
