Eddie left Funkadelic in 1971 but played on a few more Parliament records- Chocolate City would be the last studio record featuring his otherworldly axe slanging. He contributed some vocals to 1976 release The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein and is featured heavily on the Live P-Funk Earth Tour record from 1977 but this record marks his first foray into solo land.
George Clinton's production and songwriting help are all over this record, as well as utilizing a line up that's basically 1978 era P-Funk.
It's probably the only Parliament/Funkadelic-related release outside of their own oeuvre considered essential.
