James Brown – It’s A Mother [LP]

It’s a Mother, released in August 1969, goes far beyond soul: it anticipates the deeper funk to come. It features the monster two-part single, “Mother Popcorn,” a 1 R&B and 11 Pop hit and one of the last of the classic Pee Wee Ellis arrangements for James Brown. The album peaked at 3 on the Billboard R&B/Soul LP chart and 26 on the Billboard 200. Decades later, it’s sequence of hip tracks, “ballads and jams” makes it a benchmark for producers, neo-funk bands and crate digging DJs. Available on 140g high-quality virgin vinyl.
