Maggot Brain — 1971

A psychedelic-funk landmark opening with a guitar elegy for the ages. Wild and visionary. A genre cornerstone. The second (or third) record that deepens the picture.

On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
