This is an epic release from the legend James Brown. Recorded in 1973, this double LP marked the stylistic peak of JB's career. Even the later classic albums 'Black Caesar' and 'Hell' seem to draw power from 'The Payback'. JB single - handedly redefined the funk genre with 'Payback', featuring dramatic music and gigantic yet minimal instrumentation. 'Mind Power' is a favorite JB track, using minimal instrumentation as a stage for JB's spoken slang. Enjoy the flute, horn, guitar, and drum solos. JB's master - plan with the live band is simple yet genius. 'Time is Running Out Fast' shows his afrobeat experimentation, with heavy percussion blending seamlessly into his thick sound. 'Take Some Leave Some' has a hip intro leading to JB's power ballad. The two - LP gatefold also includes tracks like 'Stone to the Bone', 'Forever Suffering', 'Shoot Your Shot', and 'Doing the Best I Can'. It was originally recorded in 1973, has a double vinyl pressing, a gatefold sleeve, and is from the Polydor music label. Reviewed by the mgmnt in 05/2009.
Using this vinyl is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the amazing music of James Brown. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the record, which could affect the sound quality. After use, put the vinyl back in its gatefold sleeve carefully to protect it from scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. If the record gets a bit dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Remember, this is a precious piece of music history, so take good care of it.
