The very scarce Maxx Traxx album was originally released on Pulse Records in 1982 and although quite unknown, their music is highly sought after among serious collectors.

Funk-A-Palooza (Las Vegas March 2011)
This was one of the best concerts that we have been to in awhile. We had so much fun and the music of Zapp, Mary Jane Girls, ConFunkShun & Cameo was mind blowing. The only issue I had was the main event George Clinton & P-Funks. Expected to be 'transported', the mother-ship landed but it didn't take back off. For some reason they didn't really play the 'fan favorites' and for the first 40 minutes, George wasn't even onstage. There wasn't much of a "show", the band was great but there was no stage show, no costumes really and George kind of looked like he was at a mic check versus a performance. By the end of the show there had to be upwards of 65 people just milling around onstage. I would recommend this show for the fabulous music but be prepared if you are expecting that George Clinton/Parliament showmanship.

Terri Wells - I'm Givin' All My Love (1984)
Terri sang lead on Dexter Wansel's "The Sweetest Pain" in 1979; and she also scored several successful solo singles with the beautiful "You Make It Heaven" and a fine rendition of the Spinners' "I'll Be Around." I guess this video didn't do much for defying traditional roles of women; but it's still quite a treat to watch! This song was produced by Nick Martinelli, and co-written by Miss Wells with J. King and J. Williams.
