Part 2
Second Kiss owned almost all of their merchandise and had a smart managers & accountants.
Third, the drugs up everybody’s mind. Read the book. You’ll be amazed at what’s going on.
Speaking of KISS, I don’t think George Clinton was in it for making merchandise like lunch boxes and things like that. When bands like KISS & other boy bands did it, the credibilty & the music is lost. It happened with KISS in the late seventies & early eighties. P-Funk sold records without it

@billyjacc
It’s a long story. First off the first president of the label was escorted out of there because of lost money, cooking the book & excess. So other artists & the record label that took over Casablanca(Polygram, now owned by Universal) might have either gave away collector’s items didn’t think it would value to nothing. Remember, the record business back in the days never thought of royalties in years to come, they worried about getting paid what hot now back in the late 70’s/early 80s

@billyjacc: AMEN …
@billyjacc: AMEN bro! What happened was that black folk were more threatening than even KISS and Alice Cooper. shame ’cause these guys were brilliant, and the performance art was mind-blowing!

WHAT HAPPENED? How …
WHAT HAPPENED? How could the label LOSE this INCREDIBLE ART? Why did P-Funk not have publicity & marketing like label mates KISS?
KISS had lunch boxes, mugs, sun glasses, many posters, Marvel Comics, underwear, socks, dolls, etc; I read in Wax Poetics that the Mothership ended up in some rigger’s mother’s garage & then out in the trash!
P-Funk had better musicians, songs, & singers and just as tight of a stage show as Kiss, Alice Cooper, etc;
I truly hope that EVERYTHING IS FOUND.

My question is one …
My question is one of many…, like.., How the heck could your label LOSE this incredible art work?
C’mon now I read in Poetic Wax that the Mothership ended up in some riggers mothers backyard in Maryland,. What the heck happened?
How come KISS were able to capitalize crazy cash off of their image, they have old videos, dolls, lunch boxes, mugs, sun glasses, etc;
Why did P-Funk who had better music & just as tight a stage show get put to the side like that? I hope EVERYTHING TURNS UP.
