Today Marks The 48th Anniversary of Eddie Hazel’s Debut Studio Album “Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs” Originally Released on July 25, 1977.
“Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs” is the debut studio album by P-Funk guitarist Eddie Hazel released in 1977 on Warner Bros. Records.
“Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs” was Eddie Hazel's only album that was released until his untimely death in 1992, when it was followed by several posthumous releases.
The album featured many of P-Funk’s alumni including Michael Hampton, Garry Shider, Glenn Goins, Bootsy Collins, Billy Bass Nelson, Cordell Mosson, Jerome Brailey, Tiki Fulwood and Bernie Worrell.
The album also featured Lynn Mabry, Dawn Silva, and Gary Cooper on vocals.
The album was produced by Eddie Hazel and George Clinton.
In 2004, Rhino Records issued Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs as a numbered, limited-edition compact disc. As bonus tracks, the Rhino CD included the four songs that made up the hard-to-find Jams From The Heart EP (1994).
After Rhino's limited release sold out, Collector's Choice Music released the album without the extra songs.
The album was re-released in 2012 by RealGoneMusic in gatefold form.
