Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will Follow is the second studio album by American funk rock band Funkadelic, released on July 20, 1970,[5] by Westbound Records.[6] It charted at No. 92 in the US, the band's highest-charting album release until 1978's One Nation Under a Groove, and included the No. 82 single "I Wanna Know If It's Good to You?"
The album was recorded at United Sound Studios, Audio Graphic Services, and G-M Recording Studios in Detroit.[8] George Clinton described the recording as an attempt to "see if we can cut a whole album while we're all tripping on acid."[6]
The album's gatefold cover forms something of a visual pun, echoing the sentiments of the album title. The woman holding her arms towards heaven in an ecstatic pose is found to be nude upon opening the sleeve.
The original 1970 issue's artwork featured the woman facing downward, and the "Free Your Mind..." title in brown. Reissues beginning in 1990 reversed the woman's direction (substituting an alternate photograph where her head is more inclined and her fingers are more widely fanned), and have varied the placement and color of the text.
