It was produced by band leader George Clinton and recorded at United Sound Systems in Detroit during late 1970 and early 1971.

By October, they travelled to Los Angeles, California to record the follow-up. Co-produced by Nick Raskulinecz and the band, the sessions were held at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, and Chalice Studios in Hollywood. Described as an hard rock album, Meltdown drew comparison to the Smashing Pumpkins, with guitarwork that recalled acts such as Black Sabbath and Metallica.
