Osmium Deluxe

Demon Records are proud to present 'Osmium Deluxe' - the first recordings credited to the funk-rock ensemble Parliament-Funkadelic. Produced by Ruth Copeland, 'Osmium' offers up a diverse bag of tricks comprising gospel, soul, funk, rock and country arrangements with accompaniment ranging from heavy electric guitar fuzz, acoustic serenity and even bagpipes. Since its re-release in 1990, `Osmium' has been distributed numerous times by various labels in America, Europe and Japan under alternate titles - including `Rhenium' and `First Thangs'. A number of these reissues have featured material that was not included on the original album, such as unreleased tracks and singles that were taken from the same time. This in-demand, black-vinyl version of the Record Store Day 2024 sell-out compiles everything from that period on 2 LPs and includes the full `Osmium' album, the single sides that never made the album, unreleased tracks, demos and jams - all of which made their debut vinyl appearance as one package in 2024. Many of these recordings are still as far-out as they sounded when first released. However, the tracks here represent the genesis of what would become P-Funk and the entity that would give the world ground-breaking albums `Maggot Brain' (1971), `Mothership Connection' (1975), and `One Nation Under a Groove' (1978). An essential addition to anyone's collection.
