"Tales of Kidd Funkadelic" is Funkadelic's eighth studio album, released in September 1976, marking their final project with Westbound Records. The album features tracks recorded during the same sessions as their subsequent Warner Bros. release, Hardcore Jollies. Notable songs from the album include the funky single “Undisco Kidd” and the party anthem “Take Your Dead Ass Home!”, both of which have become staples in the band's live performances.
The album opens with the provocative “Butt-To-Buttresuscitation,” and features “I’m Never Gonna Tell It,” which also saw early 2000s live revival. The track "Let's Take It to the People" has been notably sampled by A Tribe Called Quest in their song “Everything Is Fair” from The Low End Theory.
The title's "Kidd Funkadelic" refers to guitarist Michael Hampton, highlighting his essential role in the band's sound. The album reflects Funkadelic's signature blend of funk, rock, and socio-political commentary, cementing their legacy in the genre.
