The Singles, Vol. Ten (1975 - 1979)

The Singles, Vol. Ten (1975 - 1979)

2011 two CD collection, the 10th installment in this popular and exhaustive series. James Brown, the pillar of Soul and Funk, faced commercial challenges in the mid-1970s, and more often than not was losing out to the young cats who had built their grooves on his innovations. But Godfather JB never gave up - never stopped touring or recording. In The Singles Vol. 10: 1975-1979, we get every track released, including a few long-lost nuggets, from this period. The music here leans a little heavier to Disco, and JB was now calling himself the "Minister of New New Super Heavy Funk." Complementing the previous nine volumes, The Singles Vol. 10: 1975-1979 includes a thick booklet with liner notes from James Brown staffer Alan Leeds summarizing every track, an introductory essay, a detailed recording timeline, rare photos, and reproductions of memorabilia.
