Some words on this issue: FUNKADELIC: “One Nation Under A Groove” (Warner – P-10594W) WHITE LABEL PROMO ISSUE. Original 1st Japanese pressing. Comes with the EP single in there. “One Nation Under a Groove was not only Funkadelic's greatest moment, it was their most popular album, bringing them an unprecedented commercial breakthrough by going platinum and spawning a number one R&B smash in the title track. It was a landmark LP for the so-called black rock movement, best-typified in the statement of purpose Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?; more than that, though, the whole album is full of fuzzed-out, Hendrix-style guitar licks, even when the music is clearly meant for the dance floor. This may not have been a new concept for Funkadelic, but it's executed here with the greatest clarity and accessibility in their catalog. Furthermore, out of George Clinton's many conceptual albums (serious and otherwise), One Nation Under a Groove is the pinnacle of his political consciousness. It's unified by a refusal to acknowledge boundaries — social, sexual, or musical — and, by extension, the uptight society that created them. The tone is positive, not militant — this funk is about community, freedom, and independence, and you can hear it in every cut (even the bizarre, outrageously scatological). The title cut is one of funk's greatest anthems. The aforementioned Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! is a seamless hybrid that perfectly encapsulates the band's musical agenda, while Into You is one of their few truly successful slow numbers. The original LP included a three-song bonus EP featuring the heavy riff rock of Maggot Brain. In any form, One Nation Under a Groove is the best realization of Funkadelic's ambitions, and one of the best funk albums ever released.” (Steve Huey). What the man said, a killer slide. First original Japanese pressing housed in heavy gatefold sleeve and complete with the EP.
