BOOTSY: Ththumping To P-Funk’s Bumping

United Sound is one of Detroit's most famous studios.

August 1, 1978
Ed Ward

United Sound is one of Detroit's most famous studios, the place where many early Motown sessions were cut, where just about every one of the major Motor City acts recorded one time or another; but to the unwary, it's just another large house in a row of frat houses by the edge of Wayne State University. Now, there may be some scary shit going on in some of the science labs at Wayne State, recombinant DNA research or shellfish toxin research or even motivational programming research for all I know, but I know for certain that there is a monster in United Sound. Oh, not all the time, but most of the time that George Clinton, maggot overlord of Funkadelia, is down in his special P-Funk Lab at United Sound, there's a monster.
