Kris Needs’ excellent (I thought!) biography of George & the P-Funk is being republished, 10 years after it first came out. [George Clinton & The Cosmic Odyssey Of The P-Funk Empire](https://omnibuspress.com/collections/omnibus-remastered/products/george-clinton-the-cosmic-odyssey-of-the-p-funk-empire-omnibus-remastered). It says it has a new forward, but otherwise no news if it’s been updated…

First edition was good but was extremely poorly written from an editing standpoint. There are portions of it with poor spelling, punctuation. Whole swaths of it start over at times. It’s like they missed editing altogether I don’t know what happened.  
Maybe they cleaned it up here because it made for a very frustrating read to me. Good pics. This book would really be something if it didn’t have soooooo many inaccuracies in it. It was so bad it came off as disrespectful to me. Hope they cleaned it up a bit.

lot of info but very poor written…and a zillion misstakes and errors. It was a marathon to read this book.
