Avoided the 4MWB. I have this version and I think it sounds fantastic. Their critics voted it the fourth greatest guitar album ever, beaten only by Jimi Hendrix and the Who.

Does Anyone Know What The Best Pressing Of Funkadelic - Maggot Brain Is? Crazy I was just thinking about posting this. I have the same and agree. The Westbound represses from a few years ago seem to get mixed reviews. Guitarist Eddie Hazel's playing on the title track is nothing short of stunning. I saw on discogs there were many pressings in 1971 when the LP was released especially in different countries, also color variants.

Maggot Brain ~ Release by Funkadelic (see all versions of this release, 8 available) This 2005 reissue includes the original seven track album plus a bonus alternate mix from 1971 of It'd be nice if a good reissue came out of this one.

Any Idea what this version is? Any idea which one is better? The recent 4MWB release seems to get generally negative reviews. A1 : Maggot Brain : 10:10: A2 : Can You Get To That : 2:45: A3 : Hit It And Quit It : 3:44: A4 : You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks : 3:29 I have heard terrible things about 4MWB. I might just buy a OG copy... New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, Press J to jump to the feed. I had a 'direct metal master' version, new old stock, which is SEW 002 I think. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Maggot Brain is rated by, amongst others, Mojo Magazine as an all-time classic. Vinyl Me Please's theme for July is something funk, so fingers crossed for Maggot Brain. Maggot Brain is the third studio album by the American funk band Funkadelic, released by Westbound Records in July 1971. I agree but...$100 isn't in everyone's price range. I'm not sure there is a best. Just get the original....4MWB is basically a CD rip. Janus still owns the tapes apparently and leases them out for re-issues. It was produced by band leader George Clinton and recorded at United Sound Systems in Detroit during late 1970 and early 1971. I can't determine whether it's the unipak or gatefold.
