James Brown — Reality ... LP

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

A fantastic 70s album from James Brown – one of those sets in which he refines and tightens up the longform funk he'd created with the JBs on double-length sets like Payback and Hell – then finds a way to make the same sort of righteous power hit strongly on shorter songs too! ...

Polydor, 1970. Used ... Out Of Stock

James Brown cooking it live – recorded (as the cover says) "at home in Augusta, Georgia with his bad self"!

James Brown — Sex Machine Today (limited numbered LP sleeve edition) ... CD

Polydor/Hip-O Select, 1975. Used ... $49.99

A great little album by The Godfather – one that takes the core James Brown sound of the "Sex Machine" generation, and serves it up with a tighter mid 70s twist! Fred Wesley is still very firmly at the helm of the band – and there's a power here that's equal to the later JBs ... (Soul) read more CD
