Fuzzy Haskins - I Got My Thang Together: The Westbound Years

2017 collection.

One of the original members of Parliament, and an integral voice on Funkadelic's ground-breaking series of albums for Westbound, Fuzzy Haskins also made two solo sets for that label. They contain some of the finest P-Funk-related music and are a must for fans of the Parliafunkadelicment Thang. This compilation - compiled by P-Funk expert Marcel Visser - selects the best music from his two albums, "A Whole Nother Thang" and "Radio Active", as well as previously new-to-CD 12-inch versions of 'I Think I Got My Thang Together' and 'Not Yet', and a previously unreleased mix of 'Which Way Do I Disco'.

Haskins was joined on the LPs by most of the P-Funk crew including Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins, Gary Shider, Tiki Fulwood and Cordell "Boogie" Mosson. They lay down tight grooves, with the open drums on 'The Fuzz & Da Boog' being some of the most sampled in music, used by amongst others Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Beck, Ice T and Cypress Hill.
