The track "Cookie Jar" was originally written and recorded by Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins.[5]

In 1992, Pleasure Principle was reissued on CD in Japan by the Casablanca/Polystar label, but quickly went out of print. On July 30, 2013, Real Gone Music in the U.S. reissued both Pleasure Principle and Invasion Of The Booty Snatchers, featuring liner notes by former P-Funk minister of information Tom Vickers.

Personnel
