Story behind the song
This is another Funkadelic OUTTAKE--the basic track to "Don't You Wish You Had What You Had When You Had It". It DID appear on Ruth Copeland's second album. Lyrically, Ruth's lyrics were improvised---
so, I did the same to this outtake. I kept the same atmosphere as Ruth, but what it turned into (recording-wise) was something like 'Muddy Waters-meets-Frank Zappa'.
Anyways, in the tradition of "Creative License", here ARE the CREDITS:
Producer (original 1970 session): George Clinton.
Producer (This Version-2007): Lawrence Wise.
Original Lyrics (1971): Ruth Copeland.
New Lyrics (2007): Lawrence Wise.
Music (1970): George Clinton and Eddie Hazel.
Publisher (1970): Bridgeport Music, Inc. (BMI) and Gold Forever Music, Inc. (BMI).
Publisher (2007): Cosmic Funk Music, Ltd.
Original Recording Engineer (1970): Jim Vitti (United Sound, Detroit, MI.).
Current Recording Engineer (2007): Lawrence Wise (First Street Studios, Washington, DC.).
Lead Vocals (2007): Lawrence Wise.
'Count-Off' (1970): George Clinton.
MUSICIANS (1970):
Lead Guitar--Eddie Hazel.
Rythym Guitar--Lucious 'Tawl' Ross.
Bass Guitar--William 'Billy-Bass' Nelson.
Drums--Ramon 'Tiki' Fulwood.
(Bernie Worrell-keyboards-was not on this session during the basic track.).
Like I said for the OTHER Two P-Funk Tracks I used, I believe in respecting the original artist--so I credit them.
Thanks again for the Outtake, George Clinton.
