Vinyl LP pressing. George Clinton's imagination knew no bounds and, defying normal music industry convention, by 1978 had five bands signed to three different record labels.

One of these comprised of three Parliament / Funkadelic female backing singers working under the name of Parlet, whose debut single, 'Pleasure Principle' was released on Casablanca Records in March 1978. It was Clinton's idea that two other backing singers, Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva, become The Brides of Funkenstein, a character he invented for the 1976 Parliament LP, "The Clones Of Dr Funkenstein".

The Brides debut LP, Funk or Walk, quickly climbed into the upper reaches of the R&B chart and even saw the duo embark upon a signing tour of record stores. All of the songs on "Funk Or Walk" were written by legends of P-Funk, such as Bootsy Collins, Rodney Curtis, Bernie Worrell, Gary Shider and Clinton.
