James BrownI Got Ants In My Pants And I Want To Dance (part 1, parts 15 & 16)) ... 7-inch
Polydor, 1972. Good ... $1.99
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 "parts 15 & 16" on the flipside! 7-inch, Vinyl record

James BrownLicking Stick (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
King, Late 60s. Good ... $0.99
An undisputed groover! The track's a killer uptempo one from James' later years on King – and it's got this amazing beat that snaps along at a full deep stride. Very nice stuff, and the kind of tight grooving that would show up later in his work with the JBs – done here earlier, with a great raw groove. 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ James BrownSuperbad, Superslick (part 1)/Hot ... 7-inch
Polydor, 1975. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
"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 a sound that's a direct rip off of David Bowie's fame! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Polydor sleeve.)

James BrownSweet Little Baby Boy (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
King, 1966. Very Good+ ... $7.99
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 – with strings and piano backing up the vocals. 7-inch, Vinyl record

Polydor, 1972. Very Good+ ... $9.99
1 of James Brown's best duets – "What My Baby Needs Now" is a sweet soul groove, with a nice swinging midtempo pace. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo. Label has an ink stamp.)

✨✧ James BrownLet A Man Come In & Do The Popcorn/Sometime ... 7-inch
King, Late 60s. Good ... Temporarily 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! Hard to find on vinyl in any form – and sounds great on the hot funky 45 mix! "Sometime" is nice, too – with a deep soul sound that's mellower than the a-side, but still very nice. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have heavy ring wear, name in marker.)

✨✧ James BrownMy Part/Make It Funky (parts 3 & 4) ... 7-inch
Polydor, Early 70s. Good ... Temporarily 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. Side two does the same thing – and continues the very raw, hyper-live feel of the record! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ James BrownSay It Loud – I'm Black & I'm Proud (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
King, Late 60s. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A monster – and one of the most anthemic cuts that James ever cut! Begins with a monster drumbeat, kicks into a stone groove with loads of guitar, horn, and funky bass – while James shouts the whole thing through without faltering! The track became the motto of a generation – and it's a heck of a lot funkier than "We Shall Overcome"! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing.)

✨✧ James BrownAmerica Is My Home (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
King, 1968. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A strange but great single from James Brown! The cut has a slow vamping "honky tonk" kind of groove – and James raps over the top about America, how great it is, and how much opportunity the country offers. The whole thing's got a very positive message – and the monologue is one of James' more compelling ones! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Red label pressing.)

King, Late 60s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Classic funkiness! This is a monster groover by The Godfather – and one of those tracks you've got to take in 2 parts, because there's just too much sheer raw power for 1! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing.)

✨✧ James BrownDon't Be A Drop-Out/Tell Me That You Love Me ... 7-inch
King, 1966. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great little soul number from James! "Don't Be A Drop Out" begins with these riffing horns, going high then dropping low, almost in a "Monkey Time" mode. James comes in with a great little vocal, a bit moralistic, perhaps, but also an admission of his own loss of a good chance earlier in life! "Tell Me" is a frenetic screamer – one that begins with a strange spoken introduction, crowd noise, then a rising volume on the band's instrumentation before they rip loose with James like they're the Dead Kennedys or something! The cut's totally insane – sounds as if it was dropped from space to drive the youth of America crazy – and really wild, even for James! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ James BrownGet On The Good Foot (parts 1 & 2) (Collectables) ... 7-inch
Collectables, 1972. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
One of James' best funky cuts from the early 70s – a monster hard-hitting track with all the intensity of the best JBs sides from the same time, and one that begins with James shouting the legendary lines "Que pasa people? Que pasa? Hit me!" The changes are excellent, and the cut's got a very nice breakdown! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Early 90s pressing in a Collectables sleeve.)

✨✧ James BrownKing Heroin (mono, stereo) ... 7-inch
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. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo. Sleeve has some light ring & edge wear.)

Exact matches15

✨✧ James BrownLet 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 James had a handle on funk as early as he wanted to! Great stuff – and one of those cuts that should be discovered a bit more! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Polydor, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The Godfather at the height of his powers! The track's a killer 2-part heavy funk track – with a riffing vamp that you'll recognize immediately, and loads of tight work from the JBs! The stuff that funky legends are made of – and funky all the way through! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Red label pressing with James' face. In a Polydor sleeve.)

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! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing.)

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! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing with crown logo.)

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! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Exact matches21

✨✧ James BrownThere 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 Myself" is a winner, too, and features James wailing hard in a pure unbridled soulful moment! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing. Label has a spot of sticker remnant.)

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 keys, playing in that weird noodly way that he always used on his best tracks of this type! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(NOTE – This copy has a slight warp. Labels have some wear, initials in red paint, and a small peeled spot.)

✨✧ James Brown & The Famous FlamesThis Old Heart/How Long Darling ... 7-inch
King, 1966. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nice stuff from the early days, and 2 cuts that have a decidedly R&B feel to them. "This Old Heart" is James at his soulful best, with heartbreaking vocals, and excellent raw backing behind him. "How Long Darling" is a sweet bluesy ballad – sung by James in duet with another singer, and some dubbed-in live backing! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo.)

✨✧ James Brown Soul TrainHonky Tonk (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
Polydor, 1972. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
An old track – redone as a funky 70s killer from James Brown! The track starts out in a JBs party mode – with some dialogue before the band starts playing, then hitting a "Funky Good Time" groove. Over the top, you'll get some hard raw guitar soloing – very much in the classic mode from the Bill Doggett original – and the "part 2" features some great sax work, probably from Maceo! Originally issued only on single, before appearing on a greatest hits LP. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have light wear.)

King, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful soul from The Godfather, recorded in the period immediately after he discovered the choppy choppy guitar riff on the downbeat! Both parts swing hard hard hard, and the band is as tight as a pair of trousers after Thanksgiving! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ James BrownI'll Go Crazy/Lost Someone ... 7-inch
King, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An early one from James – with a raw R&B groove on both tracks, and shouted vocals that strike right at the core of the songs! "Crazy" has kind of a "Night Train" beat to it – and "Lost Someone" is slower, with a bluesy slow vamp kind of approach that lets James get all sad and mellow on the vocals. 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ James BrownPapa 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 site! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ James BrownSoul Power (parts 1, 2, & 3) ... 7-inch
King, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Enough soul power to run a whole generator! James is in stunning form with the JBs – and the whole thing grooves with a choppy guitar riff that you'll recognize immediately from a million 80s hip hop samples. The whole band has "Got the Feelin!", and the track jams nicely with lots of spoken bits and nice solos! 7-inch, Vinyl record

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! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Aswads/Naturall BandI'm So Proud/There Was (with bonus zine) ... 7-inch
Clap City (UK), Early 70s. New Copy ... $16.99 23.99
A stunning bit of sweet soul from this very obscure Ohio group – done in a soaring harmony style that would have made the late 60s Impressions proud – but given this nicely stark backing and production that's maybe more in the New Jersey mode of the time! The Aswads are backed by the Naturall Band on the vocal cut – and the flipside is a searing take on the territory explored by James Brown in "There Was A Time" – moving nicely quick, and with all sorts of riffing guitar and electric piano! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Comes with a very cool tri-color zine, with the story of the group and lots of rare photos!)

King, 1967. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Really early work from Bobby Byrd – a single that's produced by James Brown, but without the funky touches of later years! "I Found Out" has stepping strings next to Bobby's deep soul vocals – and "I'll Keep Pressing On" is similar – again with strings, but plenty deep on the vocals! Both very nice, and in a mode that's similar to some of James' work from the time. 7-inch, Vinyl record

Rickey Calloway & His Tennessee BandThere Was A Time (voc, inst) ... 7-inch
Funk Night, 2023. New Copy ... $12.99 15.99
Contemporary funk singer Rickey Calloway owes plenty to James Brown's work of the 60s – and he makes that connection very clear here, by serving up a totally smoking version of James' classic "There Was A Time"! Rickey takes the track at a clip that's amazing – even faster than some of The Godfather's live recordings – and his group keep things lean and funky throughout – even on the instrumental! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Huck Daniels Co with Johnny AdamsFoolish Man (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
Kent/BGP (UK), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99 14.99
Maybe one of the funkiest vocal numbers ever sung by Johnny Adams – and one that owes a lot to the super-funky backings of the Huck Daniels Co – who somehow manage to combine the tightness of the James Brown Band of the late 60s with the more sophisticated instrumention of the JBs in the early 70s! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Billy GarnerBrand New Girl/I Got Some (part 1) ... 7-inch
BGP (UK), 1971. New Copy ... $11.99
Two tasty funky numbers on a limited reissue 45! Billy Garner's "Brand New Girl" is a non-stop groover – with a hard James Brown/Lee Fields vocal style, and compin' and chompin' guitar underneath! Next is a break you can't live without – served up on the amazing intro to Billy Garner's classic "I Got Some"! The tune's one that you'll recognize from a few famous samples, but to our ears it sounds best here in the original – a badass funky soul tune with all elements right, tight, and outta site! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Jerry OFunky Four Corners/Soul Lover ... 7-inch
Boo Ga Loo, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $24.99
One of the best versions of "Funky Four Corners" we've ever heard! The bass is rattling along at a level so loud and heavy that it's bound to pop the top off your speaker – while Jerry screams and shouts his way through the lyrics in a way that would make James Brown proud, a fact that he even acknowledges when he shouts "Sorry JB!" at one point in the cut! "Soul Lover" is fantastic too – a funky answer song to "Tramp", with a similar hard sock beat, and a hard break at the intro, which is augmented here by conga work! Both cuts are great – and one of the best singles ever by Jerry O! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ Bobby ByrdIf You Don't Work You Can't Eat/You've Got To Change Your Mind ... 7-inch
King, Late 60s. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Some of Bobby Byrd's best work ever! "If You Don't Work" is a hard funky killer – done in a tight James Brown way, with lots of choppy guitar, and Bobby's vocals coming off at breakneck speed, just to keep up with the band. Nice simple message, too! "You've Got To Change Your Mind" is a great duet between Bobby and James. It's got a totally catchy hook, and a nice rolling groove that's extremely satisfying. James beats Bobby in the vocal department, but Bobby adds a nice bit of soul in the mix. 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ Anna KingCome & Get These Memories/If Somebody Told You ... 7-inch
Smash, Mid 60s. Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Sublime soul from Anna King – a James Brown-produced sock-soul diva who predated Marva Whitney and Lyn Collins! "Get These Memories" is done in a wonderful way – tight snapping drums underneath, and some really hard-wailing raw vocals from Anna over the top – making the tune sound like you've never heard it before! "If Somebody Told You" is a slower blusier number – one that has Anna really going over the top on vocals – blowing away Etta James, Fontella Bass, and all other comers! 7-inch, Vinyl record

The track's a killer all the way through – with Bobby shouting "Funky Superfly" in a tone that would make James Brown back into a corner – and the band ripping away in a hard, heavy, very tight groove! A mindblower – and a must-own for any funky 45 fan! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Heavy soul from one of the most under-discovered singers of the early 70s! "Try Me" is a cover of the James Brown classic – but the real winner here is "Drown In My Own Tears", a killer groover with a righteous feel and sock-solid vocals by Queenie! File this one next to the best of the best by Ann Sexton and Joyce Williams – but keep it handy, because you'll be playing it a lot! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Killer hard hard heavy funky from James Brown and Marva Whitney! Both cuts are heavy funk, with a tight groove by the JB Band, and raw soulful vocals from Marva. "Got To Have a Job" was done later by Bobby Byrd, but we've always like Marva's version better – especially because it's done here as a live duet with James! 7-inch, Vinyl record
