Tough call. Have you heard the version on Rocky Mountain Shakedown?




I have now. Great version, and it's just as good as you imply, but it was (a) live, and (b) unreleased at the time, which puts it on a whole nother plane.

Of course, I'm just geeking.





I prefer the Parliament version also, but the Funkadelic 45 version has some nice extra shredding on the Vital Juices B-side.

I've had it a few times, but never really found in the wild - always a brokered deal with a regular customer/vendor.





Honestly, not my PMG favorite Parliament LP, but it's got its place in the canon apart from all the fonkay shit.





I have the Get Back reissue, I think, that has "Come In Out Of The Rain" on it. That song fucking slays. Is it on 45?

 

[SIRUS]

i think it is without the drums

Nope, that was included on Rhenium. The Get Back re-issue is an exact repro of Osmium. And yes, that song was 45 only originally.
