Added the last missing autograph to my fully signed Freaky Styley tonight. I guess it may be the most completed one now
I guess most people here don’t care much about band’s early stuff, but Freaky Styley was always my most favourite and made me a fan decades ago. Back in October 2016 I obtained a vinyl copy that previously belonged to the late Art Boerke - a club promoted. AK, Flea, Hillel & Cliff signed it for him in late November 1985. Was not too expensive btw.
Then I added in person George Clinton (producer) & Bennie Cowan (trumpet) in Amsterdam 2018 and Maceo Parker (saxophone) in Berlin 2018.
Fred Wesley who not only played trombone but was a key figure in arrangement writing all the horn parts, was the last missing active member with enormous contribution to the record. So having it close moneyed today is really interesting experience 10 years later (41 actually). Not sure if any other copies like this exist - the band played a show with George Clinton and Horny Horns once, but before the vinyl was released
