STILL FACTORY SEALED ...the THICK gatefold cover has never been opened in nearly 40 years ... FUZZ HASKINS appears on FUNKADELIC "MAGGOT BRAIN" and a main EARLY member of FUNKADELIC as well as Parliament ...here's the story:

Vocalist Fuzzy Hazkins was a member of the Gel-Airs when he joined George Clinton’s  group, The Parliaments, in 1960. He was present when the group had their first big hit in the late 60s on Revilot,”I Wanna Testify,” though he didn’t appear on the record itself. It was mainly he and Clinton who took charge of things when the Parliaments morphed into what became Funkadelic.

Fuzzy wrote and co-wrote some of Funkadelic’s earliest classics, including “I Got A Thing” (featuring his vocals) and “I Wanna Know If It’s Good To You”.

"A Whole 'Nother Thang" was Fuzzy Haskins' first solo album, at around the time he started to break away from Parliament. As one of the original Parliaments (after early shakeups in the 50's of course), Fuzzy stood out because he often sang lead. His voice is as distinctive in its own way as Clinton's odd tones, with sort of a huskiness to it. It almost sounds like he was half-singing, and half growling. His album is a lot of fun, and he has a number of good lyrical and musical ideas. On this album, he was rather experimental, mixing in pure rock, an instrumental, some mild psychedelia, dance songs, and straightforward funk. The presence of Cordell 'Boogie' Mosson adds a lot to the proceedings, as does Bootsy Collins. Bernie Worrell also anchors all of the songs the way he did with Parliament. So the end result is a group of songs that aren't as commercial (in their own way) as Parliament's, and not as experimental and wild as Funkadelic's.

"Tangerine Green" is one of the best songs on the album, with Tiki Fulwood starting out with one of his classic rolls on drums. The song is really punched up by Bernie's keys and early Funkadelic-sounding guitar, making it nicely psychedelic. Fuzzy's vocals are evocative and the lyrics are clever, going through a number of colors and their emotional connotations. "Cookie Jar" is a lightly soulful number that had been performed a number of times live prior to being on this album. Fuzzy again sounds great here, with more clever lyrics. "Mr. Junk Man" is a diatribe against drug dealing to children that gets preachy real fast. Strings are used heavily, but there's a tasty lead guitar presence throughout. "I Can See Myself In You" is a driving funk number with a heavy organ presence and a great bass groove. Fuzzy's singing is slightly echoed, creating a layered 'heavy' presence that adds a lot to them. "Fuz And Da Boog" is a deeply funky jammer that features Fuzzy on drums and Boogie on bass, with some nice guitar vamping. "Which Way Do I Disco" isn't quite a disco song, but some of the lyrics certainly show his discontent with George. Heavy fuzz effects and interesting drumming help along Fuzzy's babbling about the discotechque protecting him, a lost spaceboy. "Love's Now..." is a ballad that Fuzzy doesn't quite carry off; it does have an interesting arrangement. "Sometimes I..." is a great, straight-up rock song with great back-up harmonies. Fuzzy's half-raps work really well. "I'll Be Loving You" is a good ballad that starts with an acoustic guitar introduction and gets progressively heavier & heavier from there. It sounds like something that could have been on America Eats Its Young, with an overall ominous tone and long guitar solo.

The album is a must-have for any serious P.Funk fan.
