'''''Hardcore Jollies''''' is the ninth studio album by the [[funk rock]] [[musical band|band]] [[Funkadelic]], released on October 29, 1976 by [[Warner Bros. Records]], their first album to be issued on a major label. It is dedicated to "the [[guitar]] players of the world." Originally, the first side of the album was called "Osmosis Phase 1" and the second side was "Terribitus Phase 2." ''Hardcore Jollies'' was released one month after Funkadelic's final album for Westbound Records, ''[[Tales of Kidd Funkadelic]]'', which was recorded during the same sessions.

''Hardcore Jollies'' was the last [[Parliament-Funkadelic]] studio album to include three of the original members of [[The Parliaments]]: [[Fuzzy Haskins]], [[Calvin Simon]] and [[Grady Thomas]]. Though uncredited, ''Hardcore Jollies'' features instrumental performances by guitarist [[Eddie Hazel]].

The album has been [[reissue]]d on [[compact disc]] by [[Charly Groove Records]] and [[Priority Records]].

This would be the last Funkadelic album to feature Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon, and Grady Thomas.  They would leave because of money and other personal issues.
This is also the last of the two Funkadelic albums to include Glen Goins; although he would appear on two subsequent Parliament albums.

==Cosmic Slop==
This track is a live version of the 1973 song from the Funkadelic [[Cosmic Slop|album]] of the same name and it was recorded at a rehearsal for the 1976 [[P-Funk Earth Tour]] (see [[Mothership Connection Newberg Session]]). This version uses a vocal introduction that was removed from the 1973 studio version, and it features prominent guitar solos by [[Michael Hampton]]. This version is widely considered to be the best early example of Hampton's guitar work.
