The Best Sci-Fi Album Covers, Part 11

Parliament, Mothership Connection—1976

Put your sunglasses on! This is probably my second favorite sci-fi album cover in this list. George Clinton said about the album, "We had put black people in situations nobody ever thought they would be in, like the White House. I figured another place you wouldn't think black people would be was in outer space. I was a big fan of Star Trek, so we did a thing with a pimp sitting in a spaceship shaped like a Cadillac..." Brilliant.

Coming to you directly from the mothership, here is your P-funk if you want it. It’ll improve your interplanetary funksmanship. It really will.

You must have had a older brother who did not shield you from the such as a impressonable lad that you were. Where was he?
