James Brown : Summertime / Message From The Soul Sisters
USA : Slow To Speak
 7" =
£6.99
In Stock
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 1970's 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 impecable instrumental backing from the ever prestigious JB’s. Overall, another 2 essential soul cuts from the master himself available once again for aural and contemplative consumption.

James Brown : King Heroin
USA : Slow To Speak
 7" =
£6.99
In Stock
“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 & company put out with preachy fervor, “King Heroin” holds no bars in its blunt reviews of addiction and its painful fall-out, 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 downtempo 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.
