Funkadelic’s unique combination of Rock, Psychedelia and Soul led to the band to crossing over into the pop mainstream and gaining an international following, to become one of the most important groups in the evolution of funk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last in a decade-long run of Top 50 R\u0026amp;B albums, ‘The Electric Spanking Of War Babies’ was the band’s twelfth studio LP and featured several players new to the Funkadelic line-up, notably Sly Stone. With its allusions to the Vietnam War and US imperialism, to paraphrase critic Robert Christgau, Clinton reached “into the disgusting depths of his drug-addled mind” for a project that was destined to court controversy from the start, not least for its uncompromising sleeve art which Warner Bros. demanded be changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescribed by Christgau as “the solidest, weirdest chunk of P-Funk since one nation gathered under a groove” and originally conceived as a double album, many tracks saw release on Clinton’s later P-Funk projects. Arguably, it is better for having been précised down to a single album while still spawning two hit singles, the title track (US R\u0026amp;B No. 60) and ‘Shockwaves’ (US R\u0026amp;B No.53).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplicating the original “censored” artwork, this deluxe reissue includes an instrumental version of the title track as a bonus and an authoritative essay by John Masouri.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eElectric Spanking (deluxe Mediabook CD) - Funkadelic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric Spanking of War Babies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Electro-Cuties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funk Gets Stronger (Part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brettino's Bounce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funk Gets Stronger (Killer Millimeter Longer Version) \/ She Loves You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shockwaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Icka Pick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Electric Spanking of War Babies (Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400968245522,"sku":"5060767440551","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3850306-2614516.jpg?v=1729119333","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/funkadelic-electric-spanking-deluxe-mediabook-cd-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
