Parliament

Since its re-release in 1990, 'Osmium' has been distributed numerous times by various labels in America, Europe and Japan under alternate titles – including 'Rhenium' and 'First Thangs'.

A number of these reissues have featured material that was not included on the original album, such as unreleased tracks and singles that were taken from the same time. This version compiles together everything from that period onto 2CDs; the full Osmium album, the single sides that never made the album, unreleased tracks, demos and jams. The tracks here represent the genesis of what would become P-Funk and the entity that would give the world ground-breaking albums 'Maggot Brain' (1971), 'Mothership Connection' (1975), and 'One Nation Under a Groove' (1978). An essential addition to anyone’s vinyl collection.
