The original is at the very least equally as effective as the more intricate Funkadelic variation.
“I’ll Wait” is a soulful ballad of longing, originally released as the B-side of the 1968 single “A New Day Begins” (Revilot RV 228) it was radically rethought as “I’ll Stay”, a lengthier progressive opus by Funkadelic, for the 1974 album Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On. It’s an excellent song about letting go of a lover who causes pain and disillusionment. Although this earlier doo wop version is less stylized, it has the edge in terms of real emotion. “All Your Goodies Are Gone” was originally released as a single in 1967 (Revilot RV 211) it was later rerecorded by Parliament for their 1974 album Up For The Down Stroke. These tracks are decidedly more straightforward and more innocent soul recordings than Clinton’s later psychedelic funk experiments, but they are good early displays of his unique talents. Side A contained three tracks taken from the group’s ‘60’s doo wop singles, all of which were later redone by Clinton’s ‘70’s variations of the Parliaments. The EP, titled Baby I Owe You Something Good, was limited to 2,000 copies. For Record Store Day 2019, the Detroit soul label Revilot Records issued a 10-inch EP with six tracks from The Parliaments, the George Clinton-led ‘60’s doo wop quintet which later evolved into Clinton’s ‘70’s funk collectives known as Parliament and Funkadelic (among other variations).
