''Virgin Encyclopedia of R&B and Soul'': 70. 1 March 2002.</ref>|noprose=yes}} '''''A Fifth of Funk''''' is the fifth and final installment of the George Clinton Family Series collection by Parliament-Funkadelic collective members. The album was released in Japan in 1993 by P-Vine Records, and later in the same year by AEM Records in the United States and Sequel Records in the United Kingdom. The compilation's producer and P-Funk leader George Clinton gives his final thoughts about the tracks on the album, as well as his feelings on the entire Family Series project, for ''A Fifth of Funk''{{'}}s final track. The title is a play on words of Beethoven's ''Symphony No. 5'', as well as Walter Murphy's 1976 disco hit "A Fifth of Beethoven".
