CD ReviewsTRACK EDITS???!!!! THATS SUPER STUPID!!! wally gator | USA | 09/23/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "Standing On The Verge is easily one of the P-Funk triumphs. Eddie Hazel is where he belongs, ripping up the guitar for Funkadelic. He was somewhat present for America Eats Its Young, and I think was in jail during the recording of Cosmic Slop, but he returned for this bit in full form... making it almost like the fourth installment to the acid trilogy; and possibly the most consistent of the lot. BUT WAIT A SECOND? What gives with the track edits on this remaster? I was listening to one of my favorite cuts, the soulful I'LL WAIT, when I noticed that the whole second half of the song is gone. Thats about three minutes of the crew singing "bup-bup-bup-bup, ba,ba,ba-bup, oh oh oh oh oh" ...The edit still sounds nice, but I really dig the bup bups... whats the story? A good three minutes have been chopped off of GOOD THOUGHTS BAD THOUGHTS also... however, it's not quite as noticable on that one, but still... is there a point for this? The running time for the original press of this album is like 35 minutes, short even for vinyl, let alone for CD. Like most of the most recent Westbound remasters, this one contains pair of bonus cuts... one is the 45 version of the title track, which is useless since the album version is included (one of Funka'D's best... thankfully included in full) and a groovy instrumental that I dig... but even with those two bonus cuts added, the running time on this CD is still actually SHORTER!!! than the original vinyl release. Can somebody explain what the funk is going on here? Song for song this album is an absolute classic, even if RED HOT MAMMA was a lot harder when it was a Parliament recording a few years earlier... this updated version is still with plenty of its own merit... and the spoken words behind Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts constitute for owning this thing alone... but edits??? Nothing makes me angrier than track edits. Two of these stars are getting pee'd on, cuz I'm a little P'd off! ...Super stupid!" Track Edits fixed, apparently - don't go by the times listed Derwin E. Hampton | Fairmont, WV USA | 10/04/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "While it's no secret that this album is something special and that it is heavy on the guitar of Hazel, it does appear to be a secret that the remastering problem has been fixed. I ordered and received this less than a week ago, and people let me lay you straight; "I'll stay" and "Sexy Ways" are not the edited versions. While listed on the cover, still, as about four and two minutes respectively, each is much longer. "I'll Stay" is at least seven and a half minutes long, and "Sexy Ways" is longer than it's listed time, too. Please purchase this with confidence if you've been holding back because of remastering, and join the masters in standing on the verge of gettin' it on, brother gettin' it on!" Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On Morton | Colorado | 08/28/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Funkadelic-Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On *****
If one true statement about rock n' roll was ever made it was by the man who first said Eddie Hazel is the most underrated and overlooked guitarist in history. Much like on Maggot Brain, the groups finest album, Hazel dominates this album with a passion and attack unmatched by any other player in history. What would have been just an average Funkadelic album is transformed with the help of Hazels guitar playing into one of the strongest, most enjoyable, and downright funky albums in all of history. Clinton's humour helps save the album from being to serious on songs like 'Red Hot Momma' 'Alice In My Fantasies' and 'Jimmys Got A Bit Of Bitch In Him.' 'Standing On The Verge...' the albums title track is one of the most outrageous and incredible tracks in the music. It's funky, and multi layered with different parts. Great musicianship all around, especially from Kidd Funkadelic himself Eddie Hazel. Bernie Worrell plays some of the best licks of his life. 'Ill Stay' is basically another Maggot Brain with Hazel playing the hell out of his axe, and Gary Shider and Worrell doing the same to their guitar and keys. 'Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts' is pure bliss. Making sure you get the version of the album with the full length time of the tracks and not the edited versions may be hard but is way worth it. Both versions are great though. What is really amazing about this album other than Hazels amazing playing is the fact that even the cover art is amazing and among the bands best. Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On is the total package." |
