FIRST EDITION
These Are The JBs Vinyl LP (Record Store Day)
- _music-funk
- Now-Again Records
"first time issue of lost JB's album"
Lost J.B.'s material on vinyl for the first time! Leave it to Now-Again to dig up unreleased and unheard material from James Brown and the JB's (led by Bootsy Collins!) and give it a proper pressing for Record Store Day. These Are The J.B.'s was originally recorded in 1970 and given to King Records as a test press, only to be shelved until now. Foro the longest time, the album was only rumored to exist, but here it is in all its funky greatness. From Now-Again - "This album is the epitome of funk music, Brown’s innovation that influenced everything that came after it, from Afro-beat to disco to hip-hop. And if there is any funk ensemble as influential as Brown’s in the post-“Cold Sweat” musical landscape, it’s the Bootsy Collins/Parliament/Funkadelic contingent. Those two streams, as Grammy-winning James Brown historian Alan Leeds details in this album’s liner notes, converged for the first time here, making this a Rosetta Stone of funk’s dominant idioms." First commercial issue, mastered specifically for vinyl by Elysian Master's Dave Cooley from original 2 inch master, and housed in thick, tip-on Stoughton jacket. Also includes a 12 page book of liner notes by Leeds and Egon and many unpublished photographs and ephemera. Limited to 3000 copies, recommended. - See more at: http://turntablelab.com/products/j-b-s-these-are-the-jbs-vinyl-lp-record-store-day#sthash.rnI1ttZx.dpuf Previously unreleased and unheard 1970 album by James Brown’s backing band the JB’s, led by Bootsy Collins.
?First edition limited to 3000 pieces – vinyl only.
The unreleased album by James Brown's backing band: The Bootsy Collins-led JB's. This album is the Rosetta Stone of funk's dominant idioms, yet its existence is barely a rumor. In 1970, James Brown perfectly captured a definitive moment in modern music when he ordered Bootsy Collins into the studio to record the tracks that would be test-pressed on King Records as These Are The JB's. And if there is any funk ensemble as influential as Brown's, in the post-"Cold Sweat" musical landscape, it's the Parliament Funkadelic contingent. Those two streams, as Grammy-winning James Brown historian Alan Leeds details in this album's liner notes, converged for the first time here. There are only two extant copies of the original King Records test press LP of These Are The JB's. This, the first commercial issue of this album, was overseen by Now-Again's Egon alongside Leeds and Universal Music Group's James Brown expert Harry Weinger. It was mastered specifically for vinyl by Elysian Master's Dave Cooley from the original two-track stereo master that James Brown and his engineer Ron Lenhoff delivered to production forty-four years ago and is packaged in a thick, tip-on Stoughton jacket. it comes with a 12 page book of liner notes by Leeds and Egon and many unpublished photographs and ephemera.
