    The "TAMI Show" DVD/blu-ray is essential for JB fans

    I know this sounds like heresy, but I much prefer "Live at the Apollo Vol 2" and "Revolution of the Mind : Live at the Apollo Vol 3" and the 1968 Live in Atlanta show

    James Brown Gold CD is $16 on Amazon and it's 40 of his greatest hits. Pick up that and Live At The Apollo and you've got a good JB collection for less than $30.

    If it was possible to wear out a DVD (or now a blu-ray), then my copy would be dust !

    Does anybody have a copy of the 2CD Dead On The Heavy Funk - 1975 - 1983 set *without* the glitches on the second disc?

    Please send me a private message if you do. Thanks.

    Nobody has live for 'Cold Sweat'. Great album in mono.

    May I add some video--The Night James Brown Saved Boston, which includes the Boston Garden concert from April 5, 1968. I think it's still true that this DVD comes with a bonus disc of "Man to Man", a James Brown tv special which aired on Metromedia owned and operated stations in May 1968, which includes a significant portion of James Brown's performance at the Apollo Theater in New York a few days before the Boston show. Boston concert is in black and white, New York concert is in color. To me, these are as essential as almost any of the albums.

    I would say if not the Star Time box, then Jungle Groove and Motherlode and possibly Hot Pants with the extended version of Escapism should be the ideal starting point.

    Agreed, even with James noodling on the organ as the band was waiting for Bobby to show up, it was one of the most incredible things they ever recorded.
