Release Notes:
--------
The last in a decade-long run of Top 50 R&B albums, The Electric Spanking Of War
Babies was the Funkadelic's twelfth studio LP and featured several players new
to the Funkadelic line-up, notably Sly Stone.
With its allusions to the Vietnam War and US imperialism, to paraphrase critic
Robert Christgau, Clinton reached, "Into the disgusting depths of his
drug-addled mind," for a project that was destined to court controversy from the
start, not least for its uncompromising sleeve art which Warner Bros. demanded
be changed.
Originally conceived as a double album, many tracks saw release on Clinton's
later P-Funk projects.
Described by Christgau as, "The solidest, weirdest chunk of P-Funk since one
nation gathered under a groove," and arguably better for having been edited down
to a single album, The Electric Spanking... spawned two hit singles.
Replicating the original artwork, this deluxe reissue includes an instrumental
version of the title track and an authoritative essay by John Masouri.
