Game, Dames And Guitar Thangs

Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs is the debut album by Parliament-Funkadelic lead guitarist Eddie Hazel. The album was released on July 29, 1977. It was Hazel's only album until his death in 1992, when it was followed by several posthumous releases. Three songs on the album are covers, "I Want You", "California Dreamin'", and "Physical Love". "What About It?" is an instrumental remake of "Wars of Armageddon", originally from the Maggot Brain LP. A single from the album, an edited version of "California Dreamin'" backed with an instrumental version of the song, was released in 1977, yet the instrumental version has never been released on CD. Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs was cut out soon after its release and became extremely rare. Owning a copy earned one a measure of prestige among P-Funk fans. A 1994 episode of the television series Homicide: Life on the Street involved a shooting motivated by one character's destruction of another character's copy of Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs. In 2004, Rhino Records issued Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs as a numbered, limited-edition compact disc.
