The Free Press Details Funkadelic’s Stunning New Version Of Maggot Brain

“If any music deserves an overdue brush-up,” writes Detroit Free Press, “it’s the dark, danceable funk-rock of Funkadelic‘s Maggot Brain, recorded by George Clinton and Co. at Detroit’s United Sound Systems.

The Free Press has a feature on the new set, with insights from reissue producer Rich Hansen. As the site explains, “A vintage reel-to-reel machine borrowed from Jack White’s Third Man Records aided the cause… ‘There was no digital manipulation,’ says Hansen. ‘This was done as it would have been done at the time. It was about honoring the original album and how it sounds.’ Read the full feature here.
