Today Marks The 54th Anniversary of Funkadelic's 3rd Album "Maggot Brain" originally Released on July 12, 1971 on by Westbound Records.

“Maggot Brain” is the third studio album by the American funk rock band Funkadelic, released by Westbound Records in July 1971.

The album peaked at number 108 on Billboard's US pop chart while missing the UK chart, and also reached the top 20 of the Billboard R&B charts.

The album was produced by band leader George Clinton and recorded at United Sound Systems in Detroit during late 1970 and early 1971.

After the album was released, the band effectively disbanded drummer Tiki Fulwood was fired due to drug use; guitarist Tawl Ross reportedly got into an "acid eating contest, then snorting some raw speed, before completely flipping out" and has not performed since; bassist Billy Nelson quit over a money dispute with Clinton. Subsequently, only Clinton, Hazel, and keyboardist Bernie Worrell remained from the original Funkadelic lineup.

A 2005 reissue included three bonus tracks, among them an alternate mix of "Maggot Brain" featuring the full-band performance.

The album is perhaps best known for its 10-minute title track, an improvisation performed by guitarist Eddie Hazel.

Pitchfork named it the 17th best album of the 1970s.

In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked Maggot Brain the 136th greatest album of all time in its updated list.
