Orthodox Dub ... LP 
Roots International/Dub Store (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
There's nothing orthodox about this 70s dub gem from Erroll Brown – as the album's an unusual set from start to finish – even in an era when so many dub records were being produced!

Funky soul from Harriet Brown – a record that's very well-steeped in 80s modes, including a bit of funk from Prince and some of the leaner currents of the boogie generation!

My Part/Polydor, Early 70s. Good ... Out Of Stock
Excellent funk from the JBs! The single – featuring parts 3 and 4 of the track – is a perfect example of the "party" style that James would use in the studio. Side one cuts right into the band, who've clearly already been jamming for a few minutes before the record starts. ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Nobody Knows/King, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nice one by JB! "Nobody Knows" is a bit standard soul, but "Bring It Up" is a nice groover with a different sound, and features a rolling conga groove, with James shouting "Bring It Up" over the top! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

Papa Don't Take No Mess (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch Polydor, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of James Brown's all-time greats from the early 70s – an extended funky romp that's as great as anything on The Payback or Doing It To Death – and played in a similar stretched-out jamming style! The cut's long, lean, and very mean – with a vamping funky groove that's outta ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Here's where things really started getting interesting for James Brown!

Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch King, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An interesting single from James – featuring his super-huge hit of the mid 60s, but issued on a late 60s King label! The tune's a stone winner as always – and the flip is "mostly instrumental", with a vamp that virtually invented the funky vamp! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

One of James Brown's greatest cuts ever – a stone funky monster that never gets old! The tune's got a snapping slow funk beat that's simply incredible, and it builds and builds with a sound that has an intensity that can't be beat! Plus, this 2-part single is actually pretty tough to find ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
