I got ahold of this mysterious set of tracks recently, and as much of a fan as I am - I wouldnt have the knowledge to identify them all, maybe some of you can help identify what is what. I searched the forum and found someone had posted the “Funk Gets Stronger” and “Icka Prick” demos already, which were in this set (there’s also a 13min version of Funk Gets Stronger on this which some cool synth goofing at the end).
I know of the other bootleg doing the rounds named “Unreleased Outakes and Demos”, this is different to that collection.
The audio quality was honestly all over the place, different sources (vinyl & tape?), some clipped, some fluttering like crazy, all coated with a thick layer of tape hiss. I threw them through Izotope RX to help declip and reduce the noise a bit without descimating the high-end.

(if there’s commercial releases in this zip feel free to remove the link)
I have come across of these listed as “Demo” discs (2-4), though this group is missing a few early 90s George Clinton tracks and all Garry Shider tracks. Some are unique while others appear to be the released versions.
Not 100% sure on the Funk Gets Stronger names. 14 sounds like something off of Funkadelic and 15 sounds like Wars of Armageddon.

yeah these are from that exact set you speak of (disc 2-4), I left some out as they were from lossy mp3 sources (the shider tracks etc) and just kept what seemed to be lossless. I wonder does a disc 1 exist somewhere…
