The Story
Debut studio album from legendary P-Funk guitarist Eddie Hazel. Game, Dames & Guitar Thangs was originally released in 1977 and possibly one of the most sublime slices of P-Funk you've never heard. Co-produced by George Clinton, the album is filled with psychedelic soul and funk that is driven by Hazel's genius level guitar work. The full Mothership crew is out in full force, turning out searing renditions of The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," The Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreaming," and Bootsy's "Physical Love." It goes without saying that this is an essential for any fan of the funk. Long out of print since its original release, the record has been a holy grail of sorts. Seven tracks in all.
- 180g black vinyl pressing
- remastered from the original analog tapes
- original release year: 1977
