Maggot Brain Is Among The Best Reissues of 2026, Writes Vinyl Cut

Funkadelic‘s Maggot Brain, writes Vinyl Cut, “is by equal measures beloved and notorious, a jolting assemblage of psychedelic R&B, phantasmagoric funk, and blotter-sheet rock that aims for the solar plexus and leaves listeners simultaneously enraptured and unsettled.” Vinyl Cut has an expansive feature on the glorious and long-awaited new reissue of Maggot Brain that is out now from Westbound Records and ORG Music. Read it here.

There have been many pressings of Maggot Brain over the years, with many differences. According to Vinyl Cut, “The new pressing depicts Clinton’s carnivalesque sonics and the band’s energetic playing in full-spectrum sound, peeling off decades of dirt, digital debris, and other forms of obfuscation in order to make Maggot Brain sound as ferocious and trippily gorgeous as ever. It’s among the best and most crucial reissues of the year.”
