WHAT HAPPENED? How could the label LOSE this INCREDIBLE ART? Why did P-Funk not have publicity & marketing like label mates KISS?

KISS had lunch boxes, mugs, sun glasses, many posters, Marvel Comics, underwear, socks, dolls, etc; I read in Wax Poetics that the Mothership ended up in some rigger's mother's garage & then out in the trash!

P-Funk had better musicians, songs, & singers and just as tight of a stage show as Kiss, Alice Cooper, etc;

I truly hope that EVERYTHING IS FOUND. :-)

is there anythang funkier?...i think not

[GooswijnWvanRees]

The stuff that's makes the blood flow ! :)))

[7Beyonder]

this goes back to the days where you could have a bizarre image....and still have a music career. Parliament, KISS, Zappa, Labelle, Sun Ra..... today's music/entertainers are so antiseptic, so digitally polished, so controlled, it actually loses its spirit.

@billyjacc Back then, and to a lesser extent even now, the mainstream didn't cherish Black culture until White artists co-opted it. Like the blues before it, funk was not really checked for until the Eighties when folks like the Talking Heads brought funk to the masses...PEACE.

@brandoncipelle Man, I saw them not to long ago and it was just one big party...between the audience and what was going on...on stage.... One Big Party! Everybody was feelin' it...

@moetempest-Maybe not, but they definitely had more support from their label than other black bands of that era (with the possible exception of Earth, Wind and Fire). The Mothership Connection stage show put P-Funk in the same level as any of the arena rock bands, allowing them to be the first to give major theatrics to the African-American audience for the first time.

3 days and counting till I see this band . I am so glad they are still touring . That way I can say yep I saw Dr funkenstien .

[sdkelly1957]

I was fortunate to see this tour in 76. Booty's Rubber Band, Sly and the Family Stone and Parliament. I think my two friends and I were the only 3 white guys there. We didn't care and neither did anyone else. We were there for the music and the FUNK was GREAT. They played for 4 hours. One of the best shows EVER.
