Tales of Kidd Funkadelic is a 1976 album by the band Funkadelic, released on the Westbound record label. It was actually released after Funkadelic had left the label, in order to capitalize on Funkadelic's new-found fame. The tracks were outtakes recorded around the same time as Hardcore Jollies and belatedy thrown together to form Tales of Kidd Funkadelic. The album is more disjointed than the band's concept albums but is a strong set of tracks nonetheless, some of which are still occasionally played live by Funkadelic's successors.

Kidd Funkadelic was/is the nickname for guitarist Michael Hampton, who incidentally is a shadow force on this album, while featured strongly on the sibling Funkadelic album of the year, Hardcore Jollies.

• "There were still some fine cuts, but the random element prevented it from being a great album because it lacked the thematic organization and vision Clinton provided for the concept LPs" -- the All Music Guide
