I lived in Silverlake in the early 80's. I swear to God that he camped out at a video game at my corner market once from late morning to early afternoon while his entourage milled around the store and the limo parked outside.
I'm pretty sure it was Centipede.

Early Parliment & Funkadelic albums were easy scores at used record stores when I was an active used record buyer.
my first was probably "clones of dr. funkenstein" because ENO name checked it in an interview. In all honesty I never really clicked with ANY early Parliment albums - not like the Funkadelic stuff ( I got "America Eats it's Young for a DOLLAR) I liked Paliament better when it later became sort of interchangable (why is "Trombipulation" Parliment? beats the fuck out of me! )
I like that early Funkadelic stuff. it rocks and it's distinctive. but, I really think the Warners stuff gets better as it goes along. ALL that p-Funk crew stuff gets pretty interchangeable but DAMN they hit a stride.
I think by the time Warners booted them that the records were really slick in a good way but still featured loosey goosey playing and Major good-timey grooves even when the songs weren't all that great.
Clinton-wise, I'm VERY fond of "R&B Skeletons in the Closet". yeah, that was later but I think it's real lean and SO well produced. Rolling Stone did an interview with him once with a picture of him with a big ol' "ghetto blaster" in a wheel barrow. He said he mixed his records so they would sound good being played on one of those. I never had one of those but I'd pay a few bucks to hear "R&B skeletons" or "Loopzilla" played on one!
