Parliament's fourth (and best) record is a concept album that advances the P-funk style and mythology and can only be rationalized by George Clinton himself: "We had put black people in situations nobody ever thought they would be in, like the White House. I figured another place you wouldn't think black people would be was in outer space. I was a big fan of Star Trek so we did a thing with a pimp sitting in a spaceship shaped like a Cadillac, and we did all these James Brown-type grooves, but with street talk and ghetto slang" (http://www.clevescene.com/2006-09-13/music/turn-this-mutha-out/). The James Brown-type grooves come from Parliament's acquisition of Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker who previously played in JB's backup band.http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=48949b153ccb769ad2db6fb9a8902bda
