Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. Following up on their debut Stretchin' Out In Bootsy's Rubber Band, Ahh... The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! Was the second album by Bootsy's Rubber Band, originally released in 1977. The album was produced by Parliament Funkadelic's funk meister George Clinton and bass player and front man William 'Bootsy' Collins. The band features Bootsy's brother Phelps 'Catfish' Collins, Jr on guitar, Frankie Kash on drums, Frederick 'Flintstone' Allen on drums and James Brown regulars Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley on horns. Guest appearances include saxophonist Randy and trumpeter Michael Brecker, and keyboardist Bernie Worrell, amongst others. The lyrics are consistently humorous and clever, the grooves are consistently infectious. Ahh... The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! #bears that distinctive P-funk sound, and is essential listening for lovers of hard 1970s funk.
