Maximum weirdness, still competely bizarre after nearly 40 years
I can just see it - a young teenager in 1977-1978 who had gotten into Funkadelic via One Nation Under a Groove and Uncle Jam. Deciding to trace Funkadelic's history, they hit the record store, pick this up, put it on the turntable... and back away slowly, wondering just where the hell that insane...

Insane psychedelic Hendrix-funk-rock from the Masters
Early Funkadelic released some seriously brilliant and completely wigged-out albums, and this very well may be the craziest of them all. It's also the second-best of the mighty early Westbound triumvirate (Funkadelic, Free Your Mind, the astounding Maggot Brain). The later Westbound comp "Music...

REVOLUTIONARY
this album is one of the greatest debuts ever. early funkadelic was so bad-ass down and dirty funkdafied, some of the best music ever recorded. george clinton's parliament/funkadelic would go on to become more goofy but the early stuff is what really rocks. if you love hardcore gritty funk also...

all depends on how free you wanna be...
looks like folks either love it or hate it... mostly, looks like they jus disgruntled with the sound quality... and yeah, it could sorely use a sonic upgrade!'free your mind', 'maggotbrain' and 'standing on the verge' are the holy triumverant of funkadelic records, in my book. pure and...

will a REMASTERED version of this PLEASE be released?!?!
Real good, trippy early P-Funk work despite waves of musical progression to come in the decade ahead. Title track and 'Some More' (my favorite track) are the highlights of this little psychadelic adventure. However, the mastering of this CD is inexcusably horrendous! It makes the first issue of...

A wild ride of an album, essential to any collection.
1971 was a very important year for Funkadelic, the year that they recorded their earliest masterpiece albums: "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow" and "Maggot Brain"."Free Your Mind" stands out as one of the most psychadelic albums known to man, a nonstop freakout festival that you'd swear...

Vary underappreciated funk & rock explosion!
As a long time fan of the funk, I have to say that this albun is a refreshingly strong staple. Through the years, funk became cursed with a cartoonish image (ironically, due in large part to parliament). This album has none of it. It IS dirty, grungy and sweaty. It IS loud and in a sense,...

Get the other Funkadelic albums first
I love everything these guys put out, but this album just isn't one of their strongest ones. Funky... jams like "Loose Booty" and "Nappy Dugout" are sorely missing. And the CD tranfer *is* bad. If you're just getting into Funkadelic, I would recommend you start with the other albums first, and...

An amazing record makes a poor CD
Funkadelic's Free Your Mind... is a landmark of American music -- and is an album which George Clinton says they recorded in a single afternoon. Some of this shows in the rough edges, but that's part of its charm and genius. Unfortunately, the mastering on this CD version is terrible and you'll...
