Released in 1971, this collection of tracks represents the pinnacle of the band's middle period before they slowly morphed into futuristic funky aliens from outer space as the decade progressed.

After teaching the world just how psychedelic funk could become and how seamlessly it could assimilate rock 'n' roll, Funkadelic recorded and released what most agree is their masterpiece, Maggot Brain. Released in 1971, this collection of tracks represents the pinnacle of the band's middle period before they slowly morphed into futuristic funky aliens from outer space as the decade progressed. A flawless synthesis of all of their influences from the titanic, guitar-led title track, to the infectious pop of "Can You Get to That" and "Back in Our Minds" to the flat-out rock assault of "Super Stupid" and the warped soul of "You and Your Folks" and "Hit It and Quit It" - Maggot Brain is truly one of the greatest albums of the 1970s or any decade, for that matter.

This 50th anniversary edition includes a second LP with two versions of the title track. Side A features the live version from Meadowbrook from the same year that the studio album came out. Jump forward 46 years to the "Reworked by Detroiters" release and side B has the BMG Dub, showing the enduring quality of one of the great guitar records of all time. This issue is mastered from fresh transfers of the tape. Facsimile gatefold sleeve. Updated repress is 2LP 180gm black vinyl.
