Maggot Brain

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: ORG Music
Release Date: 11th September

The heralded ORG Music series of heralded remasters rolls into 'Maggot Brain' town and what to many is the band's masterpiece. The title track features what may be the greatest guitar solo of all time from Eddie Hazel who, as the story goes, was told by George Clinton to smash some LSD and play 'like your momma had just died'. What resulted is a mind melting ten minutes of acid-drenched pseudo grief psych funk. The rest of the album? It's a deep and nasty funk delight that people are still trying to replicate the spirit of today. 

• New remaster of the band’s magnum opus, mastered from original analog tapes
• Longtime holy grail release for record collectors
• Features the 10 minute title track, consistently hailed as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time

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.
