Plush Funk is the second installment of the George Clinton Family Series collection. The album was released in 1992 by P-Vine Records in Japan, and then was released the next year by A&M Records in the United States and Sequel Records in the United Kingdom. The CD features the track "May Day (S.O.S)", which was an outtake from the Funkadelic album "The Electric Spanking of War Babies". The songs themselves feature no vocal involvement by Clinton, instead showcasing the musical talent of other artists.
As with all of the Family Series CD's, the last track features George Clinton supplying background information of all of the songs featured on the CD.
