Excellent compilation! 2 discs packed with remastered funk!
I had The Best of Parliament - Give Up The Funk & Tear The Roof Off (1974 - 1980) [2 cd set] for years and eventually upgraded (IMO) to Funked Up: The Very Best of Parliament and Gold [2 cd set]. The sound quality is amazing on these recordings. Now much more on par with the quality of the music itself.Same great music but the sound is better than ever. This is the perfect amount of Parliament for the car! And I'm glad I made the upgrade in cd's. While I loved the previous originals, these two albums in their most recent form are the best for me.Every song from Funked Up - The Very Best of Parliament can be found on Gold in one version or anther. But Gold easily beats Funk Up for sure amount of music. In most cases extended or album tracks are used instead of the singles. You want the original singles? Get Funked Up. It has plenty! And it's condensed down to 1 cd just like Give Up The Funk was. I'm keeping both just to have a wide-variety of singles, album cuts, and sometimes alternate versions.

Get Funk'd Up
The Gold series is always dependable. George Clinton's output was prolific. This distills an intimidating portfolio into the essentials needed to comprehend the magic of the mothership.

Real Gems
Some real gems on this Parliament Gold collection. "Testify", "Mr Wiggles" and "Agony of DeFeet" really stand out for me, but I suppose the classic hits "Flashlight", "P-Funk", "Give up the funk" and "Funkin for fun" are the tracks that most people know. The major track that is missing has to be "Getting to know you", although this was never released as a single it is a P-Funk killer!!!!!

重要音源含むベスト盤。
2005年にリリースされたベスト盤。ただのベスト盤と侮るなかれ、重要曲も収録されています。2LPのオリジナルフォーマット「P-Funk Earth Tour」には、D面のラストにスタジオ録音の『Fantasy is Reality』という曲が収録されています。しかしながら1CDでリリースされた際、キャパの関係でこの曲は除外されてしまいました。2009年の国内盤SHM紙ジャケはオリジナルに忠実なフォーマット(2CD仕様)で発売され、その曲がオリジナル通りラストに収録されています。現在やたらプレミアがついている理由です。だがご安心を。このベスト盤にもしっかりその曲が収録されています。現在プレミア価格となっているSHM紙ジャケを購入するより、通常1CDとこちらのベスト盤を入手する方がよほど安く済みます。ちなみに同じシリーズの2009年SHM紙ジャケ『Funkentelechy…』や『Gloryhallastoopid』にはそれぞれ輸入CDには収録されていないボーナストラック(12'ミックスなど)が収録されていますが、その音源もこちらの2005年ベスト盤に収録されています。あくまで推測ですが、プレミアのついている紙ジャケリイシューのボーナス部分はこちらのベスト盤に使われているマスターを補足的に追加しているだけだと思われます。2009年の紙ジャケを所有していないならば、必携のベスト盤となります。もちろんベスト盤としても文句のない選曲で、初めて聴く方にもどうぞ。

Another good compilation, comparable to Give Up The Funk
Another good compilation, comparable to Give Up The Funk, with some tracks from earlier in their career. Enjoyed listening to this. Although I have music from several decades in my collection, I don't think you can beat the 70's for it's diversity, variety and breaking the barriers of convention.
