tales of kidd funkadelic

Tales of Kidd Funkadelic is a 1976 album by the band Funkadelic, released on the Westbound record label. It was actually released after Funkadelic had left the label, in order to capitalize on Funkadelic's new-found fame. The tracks were recorded at the same time as Hardcore Jollies, and were found to be lacking; hence, they were not included on that album and were belatedy thrown together to form Tales of Kidd Funkadelic. The album is perhaps a bit too varied, at least when compared to their usual strong concepts, but presents a strong set of tracks nonetheless, some of which are still occasionally played live. Kidd Funkadelic was/is the nickname for guitarist Mike Hampton, who incidentally is a shadow force on this album, while featured strongly on the sibling Funkadelic album of the year, Hardcore Jollies.

Critical response

"There were still some fine cuts, but the random element prevented it from being a great album because it lacked the thematic organization and vision Clinton provided for the concept LPs" -- the All Music Guide
