In 1976, after four years working under George Clinton in Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy broke off from the Mothership and formed the greatest of the P-Funk splinter groups, Bootsy’s Rubber Band. With a core lineup that included his brother Phelps (Catfish) Collins on guitar, Frank “Kash” Waddy on drums, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker’s Horny Horns, and vocalists Gary “Mudbone” Cooper and Robert “P. Nut” Johnson, the band recorded four essential funk masterpieces between in the late ‘70s beginning with ‘76’s Stretchin’ Out with Bootsy’s Rubber Band. While Bootsy would go on to release solo albums under his own name in subsequent decades, he’s revived the Bootsy’s Rubber Band moniker for the singles “Body Slam!” (1982) and “Jungle Bass” (1990) as well as numerous tours, and continues to use the name to this day for his live backing group. This signed, 11” x 17” poster commemorating forty years of Bootsy’s Rubber Band is one of about 100 that were produced in 2016 for a special event in Cincinnati honoring the anniversary.
