Hi Lee, I wouldn't mind betting that there could still be some of the original Ace UK pressings floating around in some Australian retailers shelves of stock ex Shock since they were distributing Ace catalogue material (but not very well).
As for Funkadelic this was their second album for Westbound. My favourites are their third and fourth albums, "Magot Brain" and "Cosmic Slop" which I imported from the USA since they were not released in Australia at the time. George Clinton is a great guitarist.
Hi Phil, thanks for that, I'm glad my copy has a different cover to the one on the site and has a gatefold that opens out like the original release. The one on the Ace catalogue site is upside down compared to my copy posted here. So there may well be a few versions of this release. I'm just glad to have it it's a great record.
Hi Lee, as far as I know this has been in Ace UK's catalogue since February 1990, and still appears on their website with that date. I imagine it has probably gone out of stock during that time and has been repressed every now and then, but I don't think it was ever deleted.
Bought this new the other day so it's likely to be a reissue of the 1990 reissue but it has the same cat#, label and barcode as that release. Printed and made in the UK which I think is a bit unusual these days. Does anyone know anymore about this release? It just seems a bit of an odd one to me as it has been available on and off for a few years that I know of.
