Uncle Jam Wants You is a concept album by American funk rock band Funkadelic.[1][2] It was released by Warner Bros. Records on September 21, 1979,[3] and was later reissued on CD by Priority Records.[4] It was produced by George Clinton under the alias Dr. Funkenstein. It is the first Funkadelic album since America Eats Its Young in 1972 not to sport a cover illustrated by Funkadelic artist Pedro Bell, though Bell did provide artwork for the album’s back cover and interior. Uncle Jam Wants You was the second Funkadelic album to be certified gold. The album peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[5]
