Funk Or Walk is the debut album by the American female funk band The Brides of Funkenstein. The album was released by Atlantic Records in September 1978. The Brides of Funkenstein consisted of former Parliament-Funkadelic background singers Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva.
The biggest hit from Funk Or Walk was the single "Disco To Go", which went to number seven on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles charts. The song was originally recorded for Bootsy's Rubber Band. To this day, the P-Funk All Stars continue to play "Disco To Go" in their live concerts. The track was produced and composed by George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.
Funk Or Walk was licensed through Warner Music-Japan and released through the Vivid Sound label (VSCD-276) in 2006.
