5 out of 5 stars Funk Is It's Own Reward.......2002-09-04

Bootsy Collins.....One of the greatest bass players of all time does an exceptional job on this rare import. The cuts were taken directly from the GMBC's Music Archives 0f 78'....Live and direct from the mixing board.

Most of the tracks were from Bootsy's 1978 album "Bootsy...Player Of The Year?" with the same band members...Bootsy,P-Nut,Maceo,Frankie Kash Waddy,Fred "JB" Wesley,Joel "Razor Sharp" Johnson,Rick Gardner,Richard "Kush" Griffith,Gary "Mudbone" Cooper & Bootsy's big brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins. The cuts "What's The Name Of This Town","Hollywood Squares","Roto-Rooter","Bootzilla" & "Very Yes" are all here! There are also a number of other hits that were equally satisfying.

Let me be honest about my rating.....I would have given this album a 3-4 star rating ONLY because I am NOT a big fan of live albums but I just had to give it a 5 after hearing how great Bootsy's Space Bass sounds live. If you have never heard anything else live by this band or seen a concert, This will definately satisfy your hunger for raw,live funk/soul.

I scoured the planet trying to locate this disc and once I listened I was hooked! Like I said I don't really care much for live albums but something about this one just magnetizes your senses.

I have loved Bootsy's playing ever since he was with The Godfather James Brown & The JB's on through to his Parliament/Funkadelic thang. Great player of that thing called a Bass. His playing ranks up there with the best of them....."Larry Graham,Mr.Mark from Slave (extremely under-rated) and a few other well known but underated bassists.

Cop this disc if you love funk, Player Of The Year or any of Bootsy's stuff. Well worth every penny.

Peace

5 out of 5 stars Bootsy at his Best ! ! !.......2002-04-26

Bootsy might have been the bad boy of the JB's (supposedly James Brown fired him because he dropped some acid one night and ran off the stage thinking his bass turned into snake...), but when it came to P-Funk, Bootsy sho'nuff had it together... There's a tightness in the Rubber Band that you're not going to find at a rockier more tripped out P-Funk show... The Horny Horns hit those high notes and the rhythm section is tight, poppin' and crackly - - musicianship aside the sound quality is fantastic (straight from the board and well mixed !) - - you really feel yourself gettin' bopped in the head when the bass, clav and horns hit on this recording... When you hear Bootsy's wacked out "space bass" you know there's a party going on - - He's great with the dance floor albums, but can deliver on slow jams just as funkily... and there are even some great solos on the CD too... (Check out Catfish's guitar solo on Very Yes, not to mention a screaming trumpet solo on Roto-Rooter - - and that's just the icing on the P - - oh yeah, and Maceo Blows !) - - Plain and simple, if you've haven't heard this recording, and like Bootsy you're missing Bootsy at his best...

The line up - - Gary "Mudbone" Cooper, Robert P-Nt, Catfish, Maceo, Richard Kush Griffith, Rick Gardner, Joel "Razor Sharp" Johnson, and Frankie "Kash" Waddy...

If you like this CD check out a bit of Chuck Brown (who's also been known to utilize the P-Funk horns) - - Check out THIS IS A JOURNEY and LIVE at the 9:30... Funk on bobbah...
