Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Sho Is Funky Down Here
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: KS 1110LP
Exact repro, originally released in 1971. This is basically really a Grodeck Whipperjenny album with James Brown grunting -- contractual obligations sometimes churn out the funniest things. "This is the funky... the ever surprising... the never the same James Brown music. It's instrumental all the way. It will surprise some of his fans... but will be a delight to all." -- Hal Neely


Artist: BROWN, JAMES

Title: The Popcorn
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: KSD 1055LP
Exact repro reissue of James Brown's 1969 record and one of his finest. Featuring Alfred Ellis as the musical director, arrarnger and composer. ""James Brown developed and wrote the 'Popcorn' first as an instrumental to fit a dance he dreamed up. He started doing it on stage.. the kids started copying it in the aisles. A man of tremendous 'insight' into what is new and what his fans want, James rushed the band into the studio and out popped 'Popcorn.'"


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: It's A Mother
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: KSD 1063LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1969. Lead cut "Mother Popcorn" may have been the smash of its time, but tracks like the instrumental "Top Of The Stack" and the chill groover "If I Ruled The World" are the real thing.


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Cold Sweat
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: PD 1020LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1967. The groove on the title track is one of the most quintessential and innovative songs in James Brown's catalog. It relies on delaying the second backbeat to the "and" of beat four, and putting emphasis all the percussive emphasis "on the one" -- a feel that originated here but has since saturated funk styles. "Cold Sweat" also features a drum solo by Clyde Stubblefield and saxophone solo by Maceo Parker.


Artist: BROWN, JAMES

This record features three hot models on the cover, the Vox advertisement "Kids Stay In School And Play Better" and tracks like "There Was A Time," "Need Your Love So Bad" and parts 1 and 2 of "I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me)." Brown knew how to crank 'em out.


Artist: BROWN, JAMES

Title: Get On The Good Foot
Label: POLYDOR
Format: 2LP
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: PD 3004LP
Gatefold exact repro reissue of the Godfather of Soul's 1972 album. The significance of the title track goes well beyond its status as one of the most unparalleled gems in the singer's catalog; it's also a key track in the history of breakdancing and, for a time, was almost exclusively used to settle street gang disputes by way of dance-offs. This record saved lives, kept kids out of jail and to this day it still does a body good. Also includes "The Whole World Needs Liberation," "Cold Sweat," "I Got A Bag My Own," "Funky Side Of Town," "Please, Please," "Ain't It A Groove," and the astonishing spoken word wisdom of "Recitation By Hank Ballard," in which the lead vocalist of the Midnighters warns against the perils of fame. A record more epic than the Bible by a singer mightier than God.


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Hot Pants
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: PD 4054LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1971.

Other tracks include "Blues & Pants," "Can't Stand It" and "Escape-Ism."


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: There It Is
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: PD 5028LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1972. Do you need to listen to "King Heroin" again? What about "Public Enemy"? Because this record's got those songs and, although the front cover color-scheme looks like it walked out of your aunt's closet, the back cover illustration looks like a scene right outta Last Exit To Brooklyn. Fucked.


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Black Caesar
Label: POLYDOR
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: PD 6014LP
Exact repro reissue of the soundtrack to Larry Cohen's 1973 blaxploitation film.

Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Hell
Label: POLYDOR
Format: 2LP
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: PD 9001LP
Gatefold exact repro reissue, originally released in 1974. "The album was the pinnacle of his work as the Minister of the Super New New Heavy Funk. From the tough and nimble Latin rhythms of 'Coldblooded,' and 'Sayin' It and Doin' It' to the title track, all are prime pre-disco Brown. 'My Thang' is probably as hard and unrelenting as he got without spontaneously combusting." -- All Music Guide


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Grits & Soul
Label: SMASH
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: SRS 67057LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1964. Subtitled The Instrumental Sounds Of The James Brown Band, "'Grits' is a slow, throbbing blues of the type Brown is best at. The horns are voiced in the harmony of the Flames, Brown's singing group, and back his moody organ solo with simple chord changes, building up to brassy riffs behind Les Buie's guitar solo. 'Tempted' is a medium tempo swing piece with an organ call and horn response opener followed by alto sax and organ solos... In 'Virginia Woolf,' the horns set a chilling, brassy mood, then organ takes over backed by Latin percussion. The only ballad in the set is 'Infatuation.' A sulking alto solo is complimented by lush, moody horns. 'Wee Wee' is simply a happy dance tune, reminiscent of Barbara George's old hit 'I Know.' 'Mr. Hip' is out of the soul vein but adds to the variety of Brown's repertoire." -- Rhythm & Blues Magazine


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Sings Out Of Sight
Label: SMASH
Format: LP
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: SRS 67109LP
Gatefold exact repro reissue, originally released in 1968. Besides some covers of pop standards, this record includes the charismatic "Out Of Sight" and an early, jazzy version of "I Got You."


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: King Heroin
Label: UNKNOWN LABEL
Format: 7"
Price: $7.00
Catalog #: PD 14666EP
"'King Heroin' is one of James Brown's finest moments, at the time an urgently needed reality check on the growing heroin crisis swallowing much of inner city America, and appreciated today as one of the most breathtaking pieces of haunted funk and conscious soul ever released. Reissued here in all its glory, and featuring the impossible-to-find instrumental reprise on the B-side, 'King Heroin' once again hits the streets to combat the uncertainty of post-civil rights era urban malaise. Much more than a 'message' record, more than a few of which James Brown and company put out with preachy fervor, 'King Heroin' holds no bars in its blunt reviews of addiction and its painful fallout, all from a man who himself struggled with the beast inside for decades. Beyond the sweet irony remains one of the most disturbing and starkly beautiful down-tempo soul records ever, a perfect encapsulation of a lost era only dreamt of in weak blaxploitation Technicolor vision today. An essential piece of eternal soul history." Housed in a repro King Records sleeve.


Artist: BROWN, JAMES
Title: Summertime/Message From The Soul Sisters
Label: UNKNOWN LABEL
Format: 7"
Price: $7.00
Catalog #: PD 14669EP
"High quality 7" reissue highlighting another side of James Brown, far from the up-tempo feel good funk of the Godfather. A stunning rendition of the Jazz standard 'Summertime' is evoked here by Brown and Martha High within the context of 1970s social fallout -- 'Winter In America' to use Gil Scott-Heron's language, a political immobility that cast its shadow over the entirety of the United States. Brown & High take the leisure-jazz of 'Summertime' and turn it on its head in an act of realist defiance. On the flip, 'Message From The Soul Sisters Pt. 1 & 2' is a more familiar funk workout from yet another Brown produced female vocalist, Vicki Anderson, delivering her sassy soul masterpiece with impeccable instrumental backing from the ever prestigious J.B.'s. Overall, another 2 essential soul cuts from the master himself available once again for aural and contemplative consumption."
