Give That Bass Player Some (12-Inch Version) Price: $29.98 SITE PRE-SALE DATE: 9/9/2011 SITE SHIP DATE: 9/27/2011 LIMITED EDITION QUANTITY: 5,000 Copies The Singles Vol. 11: 1979-1981 closes a chapter on a successful in-depth series on one of the towering figures in popular music. Through the previous 10 volumes, Hip-oSelect.com has documented the many classic—and some not-so memorable—singles issued by Mr. Dynamite, the Amazing Mr. Please Please Please Himself, the Hardest Working Man In Show Business, the Godfather Of Soul. From “Please Please Please” to “Try Me,” “I Got You (I Feel Good)” to “Cold Sweat,” “The Payback” to “It’s Too Funky In Here,” and all of the B-sides and rare cuts in between, the series now delivers on its promise: every single issued by James Brown from 1956-1981, in a run of meticulously presented 2-CD sets. Disc 1 of Vol. 11 features 19 tracks from Brown at the end of his Polydor tenure and includes all of the 7-inch singles issued by Brown on Polydor that followed “It’s Too Funky In Here,” his chart return from 1979. Among them are “Let The Boogie Do The Rest,” a B-side that could have been a hit, while “Regrets” is a country-flavored ballad that JB turns autobiographical. JB also released a fiery live album, Hot On The One, during this period, and stomping stage versions of “Get Up Offa That Thing” and “It’s Too Funky” were issued as singles. Also included is “I Go Crazy,” a cover of a previous hit that was only issued as a single in the U.K. Incredibly, with time left on his Polydor contract Brown was allowed to record an independent album for the TK label, and from that session came “Rapp Payback,” a stinging performance that hit the international charts and is included here. Disc 2 of Vol. 11 features an additional nine songs: rare 12-inch singles from the man who created the extended jam, including long versions of “Get Up Offa That Thing” and “Rapp Payback.” As with previous volumes, The Singles Vol. 11: 1975-1979 includes a thick booklet with liner notes from James Brown staffer Alan Leeds summarizing every track, an introductory essay and epilogue, a detailed recording timeline, rare photos, and reproductions of memorabilia. Price: $29.98

Yeah I heard they were going right up to 1979-1981. After that, James went everywhere else and I don't think his post 1981 work was part of the Universal catalog.

It would kind of be nice to have everything but at the same time I'm ok with the series stopping here.

I have all of them but this one. I will wait till its available from a non Hip-O dealer. I get like 9 dollars cheaper.

This was released yesterday, anyone pick it up yet?

Nice early christmas gift to myself

Ordered it, waiting for it to come in. Any day now .....

I'm itching to get this but I think I'll try to wait until the price comes down a bit. I noticed that the last few volumes are now available for ten-twelve dollars less than I paid for them.

I only listened to the previous volume a few times and then forgot about it but I've recently been listening to it and the music is much better than I was expecting. Obviously he had fallen off quite a bit from his peak years and he wasn't having many hits but for a long time I assumed that everything after "Get Up Offa That Thing" wasn't worth a listen, I'm glad to see that's not true and I hope to hear a few "new" gems on the last volume.

It might sound crazy but I always thought that James could have had some success in the early eighties if he had tried some Country & Western music. I'm sure that many of his fans would have been turned off by that but he was a southerner and I think he had a little C & W in him. Maybe he could have done some stuff with Ray Charles?

I think JB did do some Country stuff in the early 80s when he left Polydor.
