One Giveth the Count Taketh Away

With the release of the semi-autobiographically titled The One Giveth, The Count Taketh Away, William "Bootsy" Collins once again came armed with a cache of longtime associates, the P-Funk/Rubber Band collective including Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Phelps Collins, and Godmoma. An added surprise to the assembled ensemble are synth-funksters Midnight Star. 

It's also the first album produced solely by Bootsy Collins, with the exception of the track "Shine-O-Myte (Rag Popping)" which was produced (as well as written) in collaboration with George Clinton.
