Notes

Sides C and D are pressed on a Special 7" EP.
Some of these EP's were printed with the older 'Palm Trees' (aka Burbank-Street) center labels (Found here) although on this edition the standard Warner Bros Records center labels (aka Line-Warner) were used. No matter which labels are attached to the 7" EP, the LP itself has the standard Warner Bros Records center labels.

LP was pressed at North American Music Industries, which can be identified by NM and/or anvil symbol in runout. The edge of the 7" label has 360 interlocking serrations (see images).

One side of the gatefold sleeve is closed and the 7" EP is housed in with the LP on the right hand side.
Comes with a printed lyric inner sleeve.

      does anyone know if this recording of maggot brain (on the 7" insert) was a reissue of the 1970 maggot brain from the Maggot Brain lp or a new recording of it?

        I received a sealed copy of this gem and it sounds really strong. Very happy with this pressing.

          My promo copy of this pressing has a gold circular "PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE" stamp on the top right corner. Additionally, there's a sticker on the cover below the Funkadelic and above the One Nation Under A Groove saying, "MORE OF WHAT YOU'RE FUNKIN' FOR, AN ALBUM AND A HALF AT A SINGLE RECORD PRICE"
