Funkadelic – Funkadelic (Violet Vinyl LP)
$52.00
Funkadelic’s 1970 Self-Titled Debut Album on Ultra Violet LP. Cut from High-Resolution Tape Transfers. Pressed at Furnace Record Pressing.
Released in 1970, Funkadelic’s self-titled debut was a radical collision of psychedelic rock, gospel, blues, and soul. The record arrived as a chaotic, genre-defying statement that redefined the possibilities of 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 — including Eddie Hazel, Billy Bass Nelson, Tawl Ross, Tiki Fulwood, and Mickey Atkins — the album rejected convention in favor of raw groove and existential noise. Tracks like “I Got a Thing…” and “What Is Soul” pulse with menace and joy, bookended by surreal monologues that echo both street philosophy and space-age gospel.
As part of Org Music’s Westbound Records reissue series, this edition restores the album’s full cosmic impact across multiple formats. This single LP colored vinyl edition is cut from high-resolution tape transfers.
A sonic revolution in its time and a lasting influence ever since, Funkadelic remains a groundbreaking testament to music without rules and freedom without limits.
