Take A Lickin' And Keep On Kickin'/ Shine-o-Myte

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Warner/Reprise factory sleeve. Bassist William "Bootsy" Collins' (credited here including his first name) had earlier been a part of James Brown's band from 1969-71 and then part of George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic troupe starting in 1972. The B side is labeled the "No Rap Version," presumably referring to the album cut. The A side is specially edited from a 4:20 album track. Note: This 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
