Funkadelic – Maggot Brain (2026 Reissue, 45 RPM Edition LP Vinyl)
Product Details
George Clinton reportedly told Eddie Hazel to play the opening title track as if he'd just learned his mother died, then learned she was still alive. What came out of that instruction is ten minutes of guitar playing that has haunted musicians and listeners for over fifty years. Pressed at 45 RPM, this reissue lets Hazel's sustain and Bootsy Collins' low end breathe the way they were meant to, with the kind of dynamic range that CD and streaming have never fully captured.
Released in 1971, Maggot Brain stands as the towering masterpiece in Funkadelic’s groundbreaking catalog. Initially misunderstood upon release, the album is now widely regarded as one of the most influential records of all time. Anchored by Eddie Hazel’s otherworldly guitar performance on the legendary title track and featuring enduring favorites like “Can You Get To That,” Maggot Brain redefined the possibilities of funk, rock, and psychedelic music.
For this definitive 2026 reissue, the album was mastered directly from analog tape, preserving the raw power, depth, and atmosphere of the original recordings with extraordinary detail. A longtime holy grail for collectors, Maggot Brain receives the fully analog treatment it has long deserved.
