James Brown — Hell ... CD

Polydor (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A killer double-length album from James Brown – a smoking set that stands strongly right next to similar packages like Get On The Good Foot and Payback! The album's a bit different than the latter, in that the tracks are mostly shorter, and there's some mellower cuts too – but they ... (Soul) read more CD

James Brown — Hey America ... CD

Polydor/Elemental (Spain), 1972. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

A really fantastic album from James Brown – and an unusual one, too – as it was only ever issued overseas back in the early 70s! The album's got a title that's similar to one of James' Christmas albums, but it's a completely different record – kind of a condensation of some of ... (Soul) read more CD

James Brown — Hey America – Christmas ... CD

King/Universal (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

The last, and most obscure of James Brown's Christmas albums of the King years – and quite possibly the hippest too! Given that James is shouting "Hey America" in the title, he's clearly going for a righteous and semi-political tone on the set – singing Holiday tunes, but ... read more CD

James Brown — Hot ... LP

Polydor, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

One of the lesser-known albums from the mid 70's, and one that includes a mix of remakes of old stuff, and some faster tracks that seem to be aimed at the dancefloor.

Shouting storming uptempo funk from JB – and a track that really hints at his work at the end of the 70s! The cut screams dancefloor all over the place – and believe us, when James has bugs in his pants, he sure knows how to scream! Plus, this single also includes the oddly-numbered ...

James Brown — I Got You (I Feel Good) ... CD

King/Universal (Japan), 1966. Used ... Out Of Stock

Quite possibly THE James Brown album of the mid 60s – a solid set of hard-grooving tracks, based around the monster title hit "I Got You (I Feel Good)"! The tune's one of those numbers that has been used a gajillion times over the years in commercials and promos – but which ... (Soul) read more CD

One of James Brown's undisputed classics!

James Brown — It's a Man's Man's Man's World ... LP

James Brown, proud and loud – a smoking 60s album that provides a great link between his earlier styles and his freer roots – with a brilliant blend of funk, soul, and a touch of raw R&B!

Uptempo funky James from the end of the 70s – aimed at the discos, but with that funky sound of earlier days still pretty much in place!

King, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Raw soul, indeed – a term that could have been coined for James Brown's vocal approach, and which probably makes one of its first appearances here on a record!

Polydor, 1972. Near Mint- (pic cover)... Out Of Stock

"King Heroin" is one of James' most enduring songs of the 70s – and although it's not as funky as some of the others, it's got an incredibly soulful political message that's still extremely compelling today. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

King, Late 60s. Good ... Out Of Stock

Killer funky work from James! "Let A Man Come In" is a stone-cold funky number – with great raw popping grooves, very much in the Popcorn vein!

James Brown — Let Yourself Go/Good Rockin Tonight ... 7-inch

King, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Groundbreaking early work from James! We're not sure when "Let Yourself Go" was released – but it's got these fantastic guitars on the beat, very much in the "Papa's Brand New Bag" or "Out Of Sight" mode, although a bit rawer and rootsier. Proof though, that ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

James Brown — Stone To The Bone (part 1)/Stone To The Bone (Some More) ... 7-inch

Polydor, 1973. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock

One of James' best, and a killer funky track with a great riff by the JBs! Both parts are excellent, and the track never stops grooving! The 45 mix is different than the LP, too! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

James Brown — Super Bad ... LP

King, 1971. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Super Bad is right! This is hard-hitting funky James – from the badass cover right down to the extended tracks on the record, which point the way towards the hard live jamming of the classic Payback years! Everything wonderful is in place on the set – from the band's grooves at the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

James Brown — Super Bad (parts 1, 2, & 3) ... 7-inch

King, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Killer James Brown! This late King classic is done up in 3 parts – and weren't there only 2 parts on the LP? Even more of a reason to buy this funky 45. It's so hot, it goes all the way to part 3! That third part is the super-duper killer – done in a fast funk style that's so ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

James Brown — Super Bad Live ... CD

Sunset Blvd, Early 80s. New Copy ... $9.99 17.99

A great later document of the power of James Brown in a live setting – an early 80s concert that really cooks strongly all the way through – bubbling over with the sort of non-stop energy that James was bringing to his live albums from the Apollo Theater onward! The group isn't listed ... (Soul) read more CD

James Brown — Superbad, Superslick (part 1)/Hot ... 7-inch

Polydor, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

"Superbad, Superslick" is an excellent funky number from the mid 70s, and proof that James was still going strong! The track has a mellow snapping easy funk groove, with some great bubbling keyboards, and very positive lyrics from James. "Hot" is pretty great too – with ...

James Brown — Sweet Little Baby Boy (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch

King, 1966. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

A great deep soul tune from James! The track's a holiday number – and the sweet little baby boy is ol' JC himself – but with James singing the vocals, the whole thing sounds like some great southern soul number, with Christmas only a deep memory away. Nice and slow and soulful – ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

James Brown — There It Is (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch

Polydor, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

An oft-forgotten funky classic from James! The track's a monster – with this wah-wah beat that's flanged all over the place, yet is still as tight as a pair of pants with a 26 inch waist! The groove is prime JBs early 70s – and James is shoutin and callin the groove over the top! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

James Brown — There Was A Time/I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me) ... 7-inch

King, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

This is the kind of killer hard soul material that made James' late 60s years so incredible! "There Was a Time" is one of our favorite-ever tracks by him, and it's got a massive kind of soulful energy that's sometimes missing from other tracks at the time. "I Can't Stand ...

James Brown — Think ... CD

King/Polydor, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock

One of James Brown's earliest full albums for King Records – and a set that kicks off with his monstrous reworkin of the tune "Think" – originally recorded by the Five Royales, but recast here by James as the blueprint for all the funky goodness in years to come! That track ... (Soul) read more CD

James Brown — Tit For Tat (Ain't No Taking Back)/Believers Shall Enjoy (Non Believers Shall Suffer) ... 7-inch

King, Late 60s. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock

Two long titles, both of them nice! "Tit For Tat" has a great back-forth kind of groove – not really funky, but pretty darn catchy, and with some raw soulful vocals from brother James! "Believers" is an instrumental with some very nice organ work – James on the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

James Brown — Unbeatable James Brown – 16 Hits ... LP

King, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $19.99

One of those excellent King albums from James that features a wide range of tracks, done in a wide range of styles – including some wonderful obscure numbers that go way past the "hits" promised in the title. The groove runs from sad ballad soul to heavy instrumentals – and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Black label King pressing. Note: Vinyl has a short hairline crack on the first track on each side – but is otherwise nice. Cover has light wear, and masking tape on the top and bottom seams.)
