Sweat Band

Sweat Band

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1980 album from Funkadelic/Parliament legend Bootsy Collins. Sweat Band was the first official release on the Uncle Jam Record label, formed by Funkateer in Chief George Clinton and his business manager Archie Ivy. The band itself was formed by P-Funk bassist Bootsy Collins (one of very few to hold a candle to Funk bass pioneer Larry Graham) and had previously released records under the name Bootsy's Rubber Band but after losing the rights to the name Rubber Band to a folk music group of the same name Bootsy had to make a change and Sweat Band was born. The group also boasts arguably three of the greatest Funk musicians to have graced fans with their talent with Bernie Worrell on keyboards (Funkadelic) and horn players Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker who were integral to the James Brown and P-Funk sounds. As a result every track on Sweat Band delivers the solid Space Funk grooves you would expect from a P-Funk record including "Freak To Freak", a #25 US R&B hit and #44 Dance hit, "Body Shop" (the second single), "Love Munch" and "Jamaica". Liner notes by Discussions Magazine's Stephen SPAZ Schnee featuring exlusive input from Fred Wesley! BBR.
