You know what use to really kill me about JB's recordings?

I can understand them being parts 1 & 2 on 45 records, but I never understood why they weren't in their entire on a full album?

He had them fading out as well...

Use to hate that

But I think he got it right when "The Payback" album came out

Although I didn't care for those interludes between songs

Hated those too

He used some kind of voodoo symphonic shit on The Payback. And then he used the gong for the Hell album.

yeah....

And he use "You Can Have Watergate, Just Gimme The Bucks And I'll Be Straight" as an interlude between each song on The JB's "Doing It To Death" album.

Bout time it got to the actual song, I didn't want to listen to it

That's not entirely true. Separate parts 1 and 2 on albums were really the exception, not the rule. Most tracks were mixed in one peace, long before Payback. For example, check out the vinyl of It's a new day or Superbad ..

Always dug this album cover

He actually had better songs on the album:

The title track (the woman shouting the title at the intro is a classic)

King Heroin

Public Enemy #1 and #2
Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing

----

Just to name a few.

It's really a throw-together album. Some leftovers from the original J.B.'s (like Talkin' loud) and newer tracks laid down by session players in NYC who were never part of the J.B.'s (like King Heroin.) Definitely not my favorite 1970s album.

There's also a pretty odd repeated interlude on the Damn right I am somebody album by the J.B.s I think that was just a phase he was going through, attempting to create concept albums, tying the songs together.

And my 2nd fave...

I wanna see some take the J5 acapella, that instrumental and put them together...

Would love to hear it too. Little Beaver's simple version could suit MJ's dramatic take.

James was trying to compete with Marvin, Stevie, Isaac and Curtis...with not so good results.

Poor JB. He tried though lol

yeah....
