What are the ones that are played or were on the NS scene?

I believe there are a few Northern type tunes mostly hidden away on LP's?

I don't mean his funky "Say it loud / sex machine / I feel good kind of stuff but the more 'soulful' things

Interested to 'discover' stuff 'right under my nose' if you get my meaning.

james brown - wake up people - polydor lp

james brown - why did she have to leave me - king lp

Lost Someone - from the 'Hell' album had a few plays in recent years - absolutely great track!

There Was A Time

Night Train

Pre Northern Daze - yep THAT old

1. There Was A Time (Polydor)

2. Night Train (Pye)

3. Hey America (Mojo)

"Why did you take your love away from me" - off the "I cant stand myself when you touch me" lp

is worth hearing.

Its the LP with "there was a time" on it - also "time after time" is nice

and some great JB funk as normal.

And as someone mentioned his "Hell" lp is a must, for "lost someone" and more fantastic out n out great JB funk sides.

dont buy "lost someone" on the king 45 - it is an early slow version (unless you want that version lol)

JB did some really great stuff. Old and well known classics such as "Hey America" "Living In America" etc. I don't go for the more funk stuff but do like some of his danceable stuff for Polydor.

However, for myself personally JB comes into his own on his non-danceable straight soul stuff.

Bewildered

King Heroin

A Man Has To Go Back To The Crossroads

For Your Precious Love

Lost Someone (King) ------------- as a soul record it kicks the shit out the later Polydor cut

Not everyones taste I admit but it sure is soulful.

Shame on anyone who discounts this because it ain't danceable, listen with yer ears folks not with yer feet

One of his best 45's is Money Won't Change You - King 6048, cheap as chips but a great record.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Got a great 45 on the King label (Dont be a drop out) well I think i,v got the title right. Cant check right now but I think that's it It is always at the back of my playbox but I have never let it loose. Right R&B style for the Northern room today.

the attic boys played it at the last bidds nighter,. top tune, Stone to the bone, polydor is basically a reworking of this with different lyrics, and pretty good too.

james brown - sexy sexy sexy - polydor

Mentioned earlier.

james brown - high school drop out - festival australian

Wow, so there are some great tunes out there then.

Love the "People Wake Up and Live" track - this was played once or twice at the 100 Club I think.

I just got The "Lost Someone" track on the Hell LP. Fantastic tune, albeit its recorded very quitely on the LP , once you get past the 'gong' noise at the start you have to turn up the volume!

Some great tracks.

Artist Of The Week

Shame on me for hearing this track on PYE International

way back in the 60s & in my Uptempo mode dismissed it.

This Record is Sheer Class, One of my all time favourites now. A Masterpiece.

Already mentioned but here it is, from the "Get on the good foot" LP.

I used to play this at Albrighton in the late 90s...I first heard it in a record store in Detroit where they were playing the whole LP. I just looked at Shifty and said "this is brilliant crossover"!

James Brown "Your love was good for me".

Here's one of my fave JB "listeners" - late Sunday night stuff, goes down very well with a couple of bottles of red wine !

James Brown - Kiss in 77

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoT6FsYCkDI

...and for those who like the relentless early R'n'B groove style of 'Money Won't Change You', you better also check out his, 'Let Yourself Go', which also features some nice sax blasts.

One of the most complicated and longest discographies we have done for Soulful Kinda Music

James Brown

Also on 'Hell' album - 'These foolish things remind me of you' - absolutely fantastic version!!

best James Brown instrumental IMHO is "James Brown's boogaloo" (Smash 2042) from 1966 (not to be confused with "New Breed Part 1 /The Boo-Ga-Loo" Smash 2028 from the same year)

other greats are:

King 6037 - I've Got Money

King 5952 - Think

King 5701 - Three Hearts In A Tangle

One of the best 'B' lines of all time in my humblest and probably my fav. James Brown track, especially the part 2 which isnt on this clip.
