Just to let you know, Batty Batty Batty is on Sample Some Of Disc/Sample Some Of DAT Volume 2. The track was recorded during the sessions for the Clones album, but they didn’t think that the track fit the vibe of the rest of the album, so they left it off. The drummer on the track is Jerome Brailey. At the very end of the track, you can hear Glenn say “change…pick it up Jerome!”.
As often as possible. Thats kind of a hard question to answer but yes as often as i can. I also have access to archives and track sherts that only three or four other people have access too. All this helps. But there is always room for more research if it can be legitimized.
Oops, looks like you’re right. I don’t know what happened to my rip of Vol 2 but it’s on disc 3 of Ultimate P-Funk Breaks (which is all the volumes of Sample Some of Disc with a 4th volume as well). But it might be organized differently, so you may be right that it’s on Vol 2 of the stand-alone releases.
I checked my copy of volume 2 (UK vinyl). It’s on there, track B18, but it’s only around 1:20 long. Cuts directly after the first ‘Pick up, Jerome’.
Listening to this “extended version” again, the two parts when he says ‘Pick up, Jerome’ sounds pretty identical.
