There was a little incident in my house right at the start of the recording and a 
visiting relative switched the cable box to a different channel! Suffice to say we 
are a little frosty at the moment. So, in order to fix the minute of missing 
broadcast, I grabbed the RM stream from the BBC website using Real7ime 
Converter version 1.1, and edited the first 91 seconds into the original file.  
So the geneology of this is  
NTL cable broadcast > CDR (LiteOn 5005 DVDRecorder) > WAV (dBpowerAmp 
v10) > Edit first 91 seconds RM stream (Real7ime Converter v1.1/Audacity) > 
FLAC FrontEnd l.7.

One Nation Under a Groove  
The Story of George Clinton and P-Funk  
 
Craig Charles navigates the Mothership for an hour, taking us on a journey 
through P-Funk from 1960s psychedelic rock to early 80s electro-funk.  
 
Parliament and Funkadelic revolutionised r'n'b music in the 1970s, dominating 
dance floors with hits such as Flashlight, One Nation Under A Groove, Aquaboogie 
and (Not Just) Knee Deep. Led by the 'Godfather of Funk,' the unique and 
somewhat off the wall George Clinton, the two groups were known collectively as 
P-Funk. With their various off-shoot bands they were responsible for placing 
nearly 60 singles in the US r'n'b charts in the 1970s.  
 
Somewhat underground for a large part of their career, the P-Funk mob came to 
public attention through their outrageous sense of fashion, drug-fuelled music 
and crazy behaviour, influencing many musicians from Michael Jackson to Stevie 
Wonder. Their theatrical live performances, complete with a huge spaceship 
landing on stage, were one of the hottest attractions on the circuit and their 
unmistakable sound has been and will be copied for many years to come.
