Motherlode

This compilation from 1988 rounds up some of James Brown/The JBs’ rarest funk tracks, much of them previously unavailable. All taken from the 69 - 73 period, there’s not a bad track on here, something that can’t be said about many actual James Brown albums. From the euphoric ‘She’s The One’ to the contrast between the jazzy, jubilant bridge and the antiseptic, rigid vamps of ‘I Got Ants…’ this is the JBs in absolute top form. Also includes the epic nine-minute version of ‘Drive Your Funky Soul’ and a host of other undiscovered funk classics.
