 Dont mistake 12 Collection & More for a best-of collection. It features a few of Parliaments best moments, such as Flashlight and Up for the Down Stroke, but it also includes songs such as Ridin High-Parlet and Oh I, which werent technically even Parliament songs. This is more of a grab-bag collection; some of it is the groups best work, while some of it is here as filler. In terms of whats worth seeking out on this album, look towards the 12 versions of Flashlight and Aqua Boogie. Also found on the Tear the Roof Off best-of, these extended versions approach the ten-minute mark, making them P-funk jams on par with (Not Just) Knee Deep -- jams that just dont stop, jams that you dont ever want to stop! The extended versions of Agony of Defeet and Theme From the Black Hole/The Big Bang Theory are also epic jams, but as some of the groups latter-day work, theyre not prime material. Elsewhere, the string-laden seven-minute version of Oh I is amazing, even if it was actually a Funkadelic song, not a Parliament recording. The five-minute version of Up for the Down Stroke also ranks up there with some of Parliaments best work ever, adding about two minutes to the original version. Unfortunately, Parliament only released a handful of 12 mixes, and this album struggles to fill its length. Still, if you dont mind the filler here, it will be well worth your time to hear the extended mixes of Flashlight, Aqua Boogie, and Oh I in particular. Like (Not Just) Knee Deep, these songs keep the funk flowing for epic lengths, long enough for you to totally succumb to the rhythm just as you would at one of the groups jam-laden concerts. :: TRACKLIST :: 1 Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop) (Original 12 Version) 9:22 2 Flash Light (Original 12 Version) 10:42 3 Agony Of Defeet (Original Promotion-Only 12 Version) 9:05 4 Ridin High (Original Promotion-Only 12 Version) 9:41 5 Oh I (Original Parliament Version) 7:11 6 Up For The Down Stroke (Alternate Version) 5:39 7 Testify (Original Group Vocal Version) 4:03 8 Theme From The Black Hole / The Big Band Theory (Original 12 Disco Edit) Remastered By – Suha Gur
