Collection: Funkadelic Vinyl Records

Funkadelic — George Clinton's rock-leaning, guitar-heavy P-Funk vehicle through the 1970s — produced some of the most consequential American records of the era. Eddie Hazel's guitar work alone places the band alongside Hendrix in any honest reckoning of 70s electric guitar; the records' political directness and instrumental ambition went further than anything happening in mainstream rock.

Pressed onto vinyl, the long-form Funkadelic tracks — built around extended improvisation as much as song structure — get the dynamic space they were cut for.

Best Funkadelic Albums on Vinyl

Maggot Brain (1971)
— The title track is one of the great guitar solos in any genre. The rest of the record holds up just as well.

One Nation Under a Groove (1978)
— Their commercial peak. The title track, "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!". Essential.

Cosmic Slop (1973)
— Underrated and consistently strong. "Trash A-Go-Go", the title track, "March to the Witch's Castle".

Funkadelic (1970)
— The self-titled debut. Looser and bluesier than what followed, with Hendrix's influence in audible focus.
