FUNKADELIC
"MAGGOT BRAIN" LP
RARE UK PRESSING
DISC NEAR MINT CONDITION
**THERE IS NO OUTER SLEEVE**
THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR CERTAIN ABOUT THIS LP IS IT'S
FUNKADELIC'S CLASSIC
"MAGGOT BRAIN"
MANY, MANY YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A JOB LOT OF RECORDS AT A CAR BOOT SALE INCLUDING SEVERAL WHITE LABEL LP's.
AT THE TIME, ONLY HAVING THE "RECORD COLLECTOR RRPG" AS A RESOURCE, (I DISCOVERED ONE OF THEM WAS THE FIRST "GRACIOUS" ALBUM WHICH I DULY SOLD AND RECOUPED MY INITIAL OUTLAY)
I STASHED THEM AWAY.
I RECENTLY REDISCOVERED THEM AND NOW, HAVING THE INTERNET TO ASSIST, HAVE BEGUN IDENTIFYING THEM.
THIS ONE HAS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER 6310200 WRITTEN ON THE LABEL AND STAMPED ON THE SLEEVE AND THE RUN OUT.
DESPITE INTENSIVE RESEARCH I COULD NOT FIND AN ALBUM WITH THAT NUMBER SO I DECIDED TO LISTEN TO IT FOR CLUES. I GOT THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE AS I INSTANTLY RECOGNISED IT AS "MAGGOT BRAIN"...
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.
THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK PRESSING ON JANUS RECORDS
HAS A VERY SIMILAR CATALOGUE NUMBER,
ONLY THE LAST DIGIT IS DIFFERENT - 6310201
SO, WHAT'S THIS THEN!!??
THE ALBUMS I'VE INDENTIFIED SO FAR ARE MAINLY FROM THE 60's/70's ON THE PHILIPS LABEL AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER 6310200
CERTAINLY FITS THAT LABEL.
THERE'S A CROSS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SLEEVE.
DOES THIS MEAN IT WAS WITHDRAWN FROM RELEASE BY PHILIPS??
HOWEVER, THE PLOT THICKENS!!!!
JANUS RECORDS DISTRIBUTED CHESS RECORDS UNTIL 1977 AND ONE OF THE RECORDS IN THE PILE IS ANOTHER RARE AND COLLECTABLE LP
ROTARY CONNECTION'S "HEY LOVE"
UK PRESSING CHESS RECORDS 6310105
(WHICH, BY THE WAY, I HAVE ALSO LISTED ON eBAY TODAY)
ONCE AGAIN A SIMILAR CATALOGUE NUMBER.
WAS "MAGGOT BRAIN" ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE
BY CHESS RECORDS IN THE UK???
WHATEVER, THE ORIGINAL JANUS PRESSING SANK WITHOUT TRACE IN THE UK BECAUSE NO ONE WAS INTERESTED IN FUNKADALIC IN THE 70's!
ONLY A FEW COPIES HAVE COME UP FOR SALE OVER THE YEARS
AND I WOULD SAY THAT THIS WHITE LABEL COPY IS
EXTREMELY RARE IF NOT UNIQUE.
I'VE PLAYED IT TWICE AND IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!
I DON'T LIKE TO PUT A VALUE ON LP's. THEY'RE ONLY WORTH WHAT SOMEONE IS PREPARED TO PAY SO
LOW START AND NO RESERVE
THANKS FOR LOOKING
PLEASE CHECK OUT
MY OTHER COLLECTABLE
CD's AND VINYL
WHICH I'LL BE LISTING ON eBAY OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
