Funkadelic - Hardcore Jollies

The album reached #12 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B Albums chart, and at #96 on the U.S. Billboard LP’s and Tapes charts.

Today Marks The 48th Anniversary of Funkadelic's 9th Studio Album "Hardcore Jollies" Originally Released on October 29, 1976.

“Hardcore Jollies” is the ninth studio album by the funk rock band Funkadelic, released by Warner Bros. Records and is their first album to be issued on a major label.

The album reached #12 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B Albums chart, and at #96 on the U.S. Billboard LP’s and Tapes charts.

The album is dedicated to "the guitar players of the world." Originally, the first side of the album was called "Osmosis Phase 1" and the second side was "Terribitus Phase 2."

“Hardcore Jollies” was released one month after Funkadelic's final album for Westbound Records, “Tales of Kidd Funkadelic”, which was recorded during the same sessions.

“Hardcore Jollies” was the last Parliament-Funkadelic studio album to include three of the original members of The Parliaments: Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon and Grady Thomas. Though uncredited, “Hardcore Jollies” features instrumental performances by guitarist Eddie Hazel.

The album has been reissued on compact disc by Charly Groove Records and Priority Records.
