Funkadelic S/T back cover line up

Can anyone identify each player on the back cover of Funkadelic (self-titled) with absolute certainty? I’ve been trying to figure this out, looking at photos of the members from that era, but it’s still not clear to me.

If I had to guess, I’m going with Billy in orange w/ sunglasses, Mickey Atkins in purple, Tawl in red, Eddie in blue, and Tiki in green.

Thank you! Interesting that Bernie is included in the photos but not credited on the record. And vice versa for Mickey.

True! If memory serves, Bernie does play on one song on the album. I don’t recall which. @DannyBedrosian would have the info.

Checked the book :slight_smile: . Appears Bernie is not on any track on the album. Although he’s on the b-sides Open Our Eyes and Fish, Chips & Sweat.

Mickey Atkins on I Got A Thing, Good Old Music, Qualify & Satisfy and What Is Soul.

Great question!

Thanks for the info! That all makes sense. Although it still seems odd that Bernie is pictured when he’s not playing on it, and Mickey is credited but not pictured. :man_shrugging:
