James Brown: The Singles Volume Four: 1966-1967


http://hip-oselect.com/sc...29EFE4A506

James Brown: The Singles Vol. 4: 1966-1967, the next edition in this acclaimed series, focuses on the Hardest Working Man In Show Business in the midst of an extraordinary hit streak. Opening in 1966 with “Ain’t That A Groove,” the set follows JB as he courts convention with the string-laden “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” while further exploding the boundaries of R&B and pop music with his extraordinary “Cold Sweat” in mid-’67. He also records his first Christmas album, and fights with his record company while cutting funky instrumentals for another.
Whether fronting his own ever-expanding band or grooving with New York studio musicians, JB was on fire. The story, track by amazing track, is right here.

James Brown: The Singles Vol. 4 also includes the great Brown hits “Money Won’t Change You,” “Let Yourself Go” and “Get It Together,” among many others. Rarities include the promotional, personal messages included on several of his singles that were available only to radio stations; the previously unavailable dance single “It’s A Gas”; and several alternate pressings. As with previous volumes, the set features a beautifully designed booklet with rare pictures, memorabilia and detailed track-by-track annotations by GRAMMY®-winner and former Brown employee Alan Leeds.

Each 2-CD volume in the series, James Brown: The Singles, documents every seven-inch single release by JB. All tracks are mastered from the original singles masters—many for the first time--whereas previous James Brown CD releases used LP or new mixes, and several tracks appear here on CD for the first time, ever.

(although when i got the first one, i was chomping at the bit for the next 10 to come out as soon as possible )

PS: Alan Leeds should compile all of the research and liner notes for every compiliation by every musical act in history he's so awesome at it.

Raze said:

Agree, reading the James Brown stuff is like reading a biography.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Even better, because it covers the stuff you actually care about, instead of which wife he's beating which week

Raze said:

This is the best of the series so far. Great song after great song.

these sound stellar...I may import it when I get my first paycheck at my job

Damn, I still gotta get me some of these volumes. They're coming out so quickly, it seems.
