Fine group but not the best choices

"I love Funkadelic both back in the day and buying them to complete my R&B collection from way back. George Clinton recorded first for Westbound (where this collection came from) and Priority. The Westbound work is, in my opinion, edgier and more rocked out.
"Maggot Brain (Live)" is a good choice, but why cut the live version off? There's still maybe 9 minutes left on this CD and the live version ran to about 10 minutes on the original vinyl.
"Funky Dollar Bill" is the singles version. I had the LP back in the day and the LP version didn't sound so distorted. Again, there was enough room for the LP version, so why not actually put the finest up there for us to hear? There was room for it.
Of course, my two favorites: "Get off your @ and Jam" and "Undisco Kidd" are here, plus some tunes I've never heard before. Overall, a great find--just not the finest versions of a couple of songs I really liked.
