Funkadelic Standing On The Verge

Funkadelic's STANDING ON THE VERGE OF GETTING IT ON, released in 1974, is a true gem of experimental rock music. This album showcases the band's unwavering commitment to creating wild, unpredictable, and fiercely unique music, even while some of their members were exploring more commercial avenues with Parliament. STANDING builds upon the direction set by its predecessor COSMIC SLOP, and with its consistent, powerful sound, it rivals the greatness of Funkadelic's legendary album MAGGOT BRAIN. From the opening lighthearted poem to the fierce funk-rock of "Red Hot Mama" and "Alice in My Fantasies," and the soulful "I'll Stay," this album is an exciting journey through various musical styles and emotions. With jazzy elements, playful pop, and even meditative instrumentals, STANDING culminates in the exhilarating title track, which stands out as one of P-funk's most outstanding moments. This gatefold heavy cardboard 180g colored vinyl release by Westbound in 2006 is a must-have for any true funk and rock music fan.
