The 1970 debut album by the funk band Parliament, led by George Clinton. The album has a sound that is much more related to Funkadelic then other Parliament releases.
The 'yodeling' that arguably uniquely identifies one of De La Soul's early hits, Potholes In My Lawn (which eventually appeared on De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising), comes from this album's Little Old Country Boy.
