Funkadelic

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: ORG Music
Release Date: 29th August

One of the most mind blowing debut albums of all time, that opening still feels like the intro no other song I've ever heard, it's like they've scooped out my brain and are playing the most acid drenged gloopy psychedelic funk into my third eye. This fresh remaster, all from original sources is going to be wild!

- The definitive version of Funkadelic’s groundbreaking 1970 debut
- Remastered from original master tapes and restored to its full cosmic glory
- 2LP 45RPM edition cut direct from tape (all analog) and housed in a tip-on gatefold from Stoughton

Released in 1970, Funkadelic’s self-titled debut was a radical collision of psychedelic rock, gospel, blues, and soul — a chaotic, genre-defying statement that redefined the possibilities of Black music. Where Motown aimed for polish and crossover appeal, Funkadelic dove headfirst into distortion, improvisation, and spiritual ambiguity, offering a sound as gritty and unpredictable as the era itself. Backed by a ferocious young band, the album rejected convention in favor of raw groove and existential noise.
As part of Org Music’s Westbound Records reissue series, this edition restores the album’s full impact across multiple formats. The deluxe double LP, mastered direct from tape at 45RPM by Dave Gardner, offers the most impressive listening experience to date. Gardner and restoration specialist Catherine Vericolli archived and restored the original master tapes at 54 Sound Studios in Ferndale, Michigan, with assistance from in-house engineer Nick King. A single LP edition, cut from high-resolution tape transfers, is also available, alongside CD, cassette, and digital formats. A sonic revolution in its time and lasting influence ever since, Funkadelic remains a groundbreaking testament to music without rules and freedom without limits
