Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band is the first album by American funk and soul band Bootsy's Rubber Band, led by James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic alumnus, bassist and vocalist William 'Bootsy' Collins.
Here it is, rumored no more: More Mess On My Thing, the demo Bootsy Collins and his band recorded for James Brown in 1969 that won them the title “The J.B.’s” – and changed the course of popular music.
Funkadelic's most consistent work since the classic MAGGOT BRAIN. Even though the band's members were, at the time, doing double duty in the more commercially oriented Parliament, George Clinton
Fuzzy Haskins was an O.G. member of The Parliaments with George Clinton back in the 1950s, but split off from P-Funk after the Mothership Connection to put out this gem in 1976.
It may not be as awe-inspiring as their masterpiece, Maggot Brain, but, more than any other Funkadelic album, Cosmic Slop stresses the importance of the almighty groove.
