Sorry, I should have posted my Tramps request to the original thread and not here.
I have since found a Tramps 94 soundboard which may be/not be different from the WV version in the Tramps thread. Anyways, I’ll post the info there.
Many thanks for all the responses here and @Defeet for the 95 show.
This gets filed under “I have too much crap”. I was searching for another title on my external drives when I came across a lossless UK - Sequel version of Live 1976-93 with artwork. I didn’t remember that I had this. Downloaded it in 2014. I didn’t think I had a lossless version so I purchased the cds recently and uploaded them. Anyway, my cds didn’t have the booklet and here it is.
Hi there. Just coming across this… also wondering if these recordings could be posted again? The 2 shows and then the UK and JP versions of 1972-1993 if anybody has…
Hi there, I just joined the site so missed the boat on the previous links. I’m looking for the JP version of the 76-93 set. I currently have the US and UK in lossless. They all seem bit difficult to track down now so was thinking of collating everything in one big bundle and seed it for a bit
Any help with the Japanese records would be appreciated. Even more so if it/s lossless
Thanks
Starting in October 1993, the P-Funk organization released four CD sets in the U.S., Japan, and the UK in 1994. These recordings cover the years 1972 to 1993. It was through these sets that the 1972 Sugar Shack recordings were officially released. These releases were designed to present a complete show of one particular gig. This objective was made (somewhat), but in many cases these sets mainly carry fractions of performances. A 1997 release, Live and Kickin’, also features many of the performances from the 4 CD sets.
To be clear, I have all 3 sets and they’re all fascinating in their own way. The UK set features a fold out time of P-Funk that originated in the Peter Jebsen’s New Funk Times.
The Japanese set features a 1993 calendar with all of the birthdays of P-Funk members marked off.
I would certainly be all in for that. Would also love to see a deluxe expanded edition of “P-Funk Earth Tour” with the L.A. Forum and Oakland Coliseum shows remixed in their entirety, in show sequence without all of the overdubs!
Pretty late to the game here but this is super-helpful, thank you!
Having just purchased the US version (I also own the EU but still waiting to pull the trigger on a decent-priced Japan copy) I’ve made a few notes to add to your own…
I can only think those fine folks at the Motherpage were listing the other songs as unique versions due to the minor differences in the fade-outs. This is particularly interesting with Gamin’ On Ya & Lifted since they have substantially longer fade-outs on the US version; Gamin’ being the most obvious as you hear George yell an extra “Hit it!” before it ends (or at least I think that’s what he says!)
Anyway, thought I’d add in case this helps the completists amongst us!
