Funkadelic - Funkadelic

Funkadelic — Funkadelic remastered

Funkadelic's genre-defying chaotic 1970 self-titled debut!

Released in 1970, Funkadelic's self-titled debut was a radical collision of psychedelic rock, gospel, blues, and soul — a chaotic, genre-defying statement that redefined the possibilities of Black music. Where Motown aimed for polish and crossover appeal, Funkadelic dove headfirst into distortion, improvisation, and spiritual ambiguity, offering a sound as gritty and unpredictable as the era itself. Backed by a ferocious young band, the album rejected convention in favor of raw groove and existential noise.

As part of Org Music's Westbound Records reissue series, this edition restores the album's full impact across multiple formats. The deluxe double LP, mastered direct from tape at 45 RPM by Dave Gardner, offers the most impressive listening experience to date. Gardner and restoration specialist Catherine Vericolli archived and restored the original master tapes at 54 Sound Studios in Ferndale, Michigan, with assistance from in-house engineer Nick King. A single LP edition, cut from high-resolution tape transfers, is also available. A sonic revolution in its time and lasting influence ever since, Funkadelic remains a groundbreaking testament to music without rules and freedom without limits.
