RNR Globe Gives Props The Definitive New Maggot Brain

According to Rock N Roll Globe, “as great as the music was, the succession of vessels that carried Funkadelic‘s Maggot Brain for the last 50 years have largely been marred with inferior sonic quality, especially when it was released in CD form. That is, however, until… Org Music, in conjunction with Westbound Records, gave Maggot Brain the audio rehabilitation it so richly deserves with their definitive edition of the third Funkadelic LP — the last of which to feature the original lineup of Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, bandleader George Clinton, Tawl Ross (guitar), Billy Nelson (bass), and Tiki Fulwood (drums).”

The site continues in its review, found here: “For this 2026 reissue, the album was mastered directly from analog tape, preserving the raw power, depth, and atmosphere of the original recordings with extraordinary detail. Not since its original pressing in ‘71 has Maggot Brain sounded so majestic. You’re hearing little nuances previously buried in the mix.”
