"I'm sure that all hardcore fans remember that this KILLER album was released without actually being finished. George Clinton was working on a double album (which would have included tracks from COMPUTER GAMES) See Review). Of course the main track "Atomic Dog" was not allowed on this album because of Clinton's legal issues. The FUNK MOB which was huge was tired of not getting paid (royalties) and on top of that, 3 original members of PARLIEMENT had released what is now titled "WHO'S A FUNKADELIC and named themselves FUNKADELIC (see review). George Clinton also was attempting to launch his Uncle Jam Record Label and that to fell through. What does everyone think what would of happened to this album had "Atomic Dog" had been on here?? It would have been a HUGE SELLER!!! And had the Uncle Jam label not have been forced to fold, Clinton would have settled his legal problems with a little more help from a little known funk band ZAPP!! who was originally signed to his label. WHAT A DISASTER!!! But despite all of this, THE ELECTRIC SPANKING OF WAR BABIES was a heck of a good album!! Yes. I know that their was no "Not Just Knee Deep", or a "One Nation Under A Groove" on this album. But their was the "Electro Cuties" which even today in car stereos with high amps, TOTALLY FUNKS! "Funk Get's Stronger" does just that. Ant the songs here did not get dragged out forever like on alot of FUNKADELIC albums. "Shock Waves" excellent piece of reggae funk. "OH I" classic funk rock! And "Icka Prick" do I need say more??? This INCOMPLETE album STOMPED and would have really SMOKED if it had been completed!!!!!"
