{"product_id":"parliament-osmium","title":"Parliament - Osmium [180G]","description":"Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. \u003cem\u003eOsmium\u003c\/em\u003e is the debut album by funk band Parliament, led by George Clinton. The album has a psychedelic soul sound with a spirit of experimentation that is more similar to early Funkadelic than the later R\u0026amp;B-inspired Parliament albums. It was originally released in September 1970 on Invictus Records. The original vinyl release contained a glossy lyric sheet. Since it's re-release in 1990, \u003cem\u003eOsmium\u003c\/em\u003e has been distributed numerous times by various labels in the U.S., Europe and Japan, sometimes under alternate titles that have included \u003cem\u003eRhenium\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFirst Thangs\u003c\/em\u003e. A number of these reissues have featured material that was not included on the original album, such as unreleased tracks and singles that were recorded around the same time as \u003cem\u003eOsmium\u003c\/em\u003e. The personnel for this album included the five Parliament's singers and the five backing musicians known as Funkadelic. The same personnel also recorded as Funkadelic, releasing that act's self-titled debut album also in 1970. After the release of \u003cem\u003eOsmium\u003c\/em\u003e, contractual difficulties prevented further recording under the name Parliament until 1974, when Clinton signed that act to Casablanca Records and positioned it as an R\u0026amp;B-inspired counterpoint to the more rock-oriented Funkadelic.","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41819844247726,"sku":"5014797898493","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/products\/o_95ee4949-5909-4368-aaf6-34984c27d4c9.jpg?v=1652466056","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/parliament-osmium","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
