"Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs" (1977) is the debut album by Parliament-Funkadelic Lead guitarist Eddie Hazel. It was Hazel's only album until his death in 1992, when it was followed by several posthumous releases.

Three songs on the album are covers, "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" (originally recorded by The Beatles), "California Dreamin'" (first recorded by The Mamas & the Papas), and "Physical Love" (originally recorded by Bootsy's Rubber Band).

A single from the album, an edited version of "California Dreamin'" backed with an instrumental version of the song, was released in 1977 as WBS 8425.

"Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs" was cut out soon after its release and became extremely rare. Owning a copy earned one a measure of prestige among P-Funk fans. A of the television series "" involved a shooting motivated by one character's destruction of another character's copy of "Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs"

In 2004, Rhino Records issued "Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs" as a numbered, limited-edition compact disc. As bonus tracks, the Rhino CD included the four songs that made up the hard-to-find "Jams From The Heart" EP (1994).

After Rhino's limited release sold out, Collector's Choice Music released "Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs" without the extra songs. [http://www.ccmusic.com/item.cfm?itemid=CCM06952]
