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.

Super Bad is right!

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.

This is the kind of killer hard soul material that made James' late 60s years so incredible!

Really early work from Bobby Byrd – a single that's produced by James Brown, but without the funky touches of later years!

Although the Dapps were best known for their funky "Bring Up the Guitar", they're represented here on two slower soul cuts that feature their bluesy harmonies. Jame Brown still produced the whole thing, though, and it's from the period of his best work on King. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
