5.0 out of 5 stars 'Great Songs By A Great Funk Band!'
Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
'Up For The Down Stroke' is a good song to dance to and I loved the vocals as well as the horns from the band (this song was featured in the movie 'The Ladies Man'); 'Testify' is another good song; I liked the chorus, good Funk song and good vocals (the song was originally released in 1967 but this version came out in 1974); 'All Your Goodies Are Gone' is another good song and Rap group Salt 'N Pepa sampled this song in their song 'Get Up Everybody' ('Get Up'); 'Chocolate City' is another good song but the band is not singing the song (it's more of a rap); 'Ride On' is a good song that had a good, funky beat/rhythm/good vocals by the band; 'P-Funk' ('Wants To Get Funked Up') is a great song that sounded comical with smooth vocals by the band; 'Give Up The Funk' ('Tear The Roof Off The Sucker') is a great song to dance and sing along to (my favorite song!); this song has been sampled by a lot of rappers as well as this song was featured in the movie 'Undercover Brother'; 'Mothership Connection' ('Star Child') is a good song and I liked the chorus (rappers Ice Cube and Dr. Dre both sampled this song); good song to dance to; 'Handcuffs' is an 'okay' song (not great to dance to); 'Do That Stuff' is another 'okay' song (again, not great to dance to); 'Dr. Funkenstein' is an 'okay' song (not great to dance to); 'Funkin' For Fun' is a good song (not good to dance to) and the vocals are good; 'Dr. Funkenstein's Supergroovalistic-Prosifunkstication Medley': 'Let's Take It To The Stage/'Take Your Dead A** Home' ('Say Som'n Nasty') (LIVE) is 'okay' (I don't care for 'live' versions of songs); 'Fantasy Is Reality' is another 'okay' song and the song sounded like it was from the 1960's (good vocals); 'Flash Light' is a great party song to sing along and dance to (this song was featured in the movie 'Straight Outta Compton'); 'Bop Gun' ('Endangered Species') is a good song with a good beat ('okay' to dance to); 'Funkentelechy' is a good song with a good beat (good to dance to) and rapper Ice Cube sampled this song in his song 'Doing Dumb S***'; 'Mr. Wiggles' is 'okay' (not great to dance to), there's a lot of rapping and a bit of singing; 'Aqua Boogie' ('A PsychoAlphaDiscoBetaBioAquaDoLoop') is an 'interesting' song (I actually liked it!); 'Rumpofsteelskin' is a good song with a good beat; 'Party People' is a good song to dance to (it almost sounds like a Disco song but it has more Funk elements to it); 'Theme From The Black Hole' is a good song to dance to/good beats; 'The Big Bang Theory' is a good song ('okay' to dance to and I liked the horns); 'Agony Of DeFeet' (single edit) is a good song to dance to with a good beat to it. Parliament (later, Funkadelic) was a great Funk band and founder George Edward Clinton (I hope he will be okay with his recent health problems), William 'Bootsy' Collins and the rest of the band members were great musicians, especially the late George Bernard 'Bernie' Worrell, Jr. who was the ultimate genius musician ever. R. I. P. Mr. Worrell, Jr. : You may be gone but you will never, ever be, forgotten. April 19, 1944-June 24, 2016.

5.0 out of 5 stars 重要音源含むベスト盤。
Reviewed in Japan on February 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
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。

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation! 2 discs packed with remastered funk!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2006

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.
