Maggot brainRare US Promo LP released in 1971 on Westbound Records. Cat. WB2007. This album has a gatefold sleeve. It starts with a crackle of feedback shooting from speaker to speaker and a voice intoning, "Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all have knocked her up" and talking about rising "above it all or drown in my own sh*t." This could only have been utterly bizarre back in 1971 and it's no less so decades later; though the Mothership was well on its way already, Maggot Brain really helped it take off. The instrumental title track is the key reason to listen, specifically for Eddie Hazel's lengthy, mind-melting solo. George Clinton famously told Hazel to play "like your momma had just died," and the resulting evocation of melancholy and sorrow doesn't merely rival Jimi Hendrix's work, but arguably bests a lot of it. Accompanied by another softer guitar figure providing gentle rhythm for the piece, the end result is simply fantastic, an emotional apocalypse of sound. A masterpiece of psychedelic funk.
Record has a few light scuff marks, there are a few light crackles throughout. Record plays in Excellent condition. Cover has some tiny surface tears around edges specifically on spine. There are no actual seam splits though. Cover is in VG+ condition.
