To celebrate six decades of George Clinton thrilling and delighting fans worldwide, Charly have relaunched their Funkadelic catalogue with lavishly packaged and newly mastered editions, including limited color vinyl LPs.
Funkadelic’s twelfth studio LP ‘The Electric Spanking Of War Babies’ released in 1981 was described by Robert Christgau as “the solidest, weirdest chunk of P-Funk since one nation gathered under a groove” and featured several players new to the Funkadelic line-up, notably Sly Stone. It was a project destined to court controversy from the start, for its originally censored sleeve and for being edited down to a double LP. Arguably, it is better for being a single album and still spawned two hit singles, the title track and ‘Shockwaves’.
