These Are The J.B.'s captures the electrifying essence of James Brown’s legendary backing band at the peak of their powers. Produced by James Brown himself and featuring Bootsy Collins, this long-lost album from 1971 blends the raw energy of soul and funk, channeling infectious grooves and unmistakable rhythms that defined an era. Hear the J.B.’s originals alongside bold, funk-infused covers, recorded in sessions at both King Studios and Starday Studios in 1970.
This 2015 release on Now-Again Records restores the album to its purest form, utilizing the original undubbed two-track stereo mix and omitting overdubbed crowd noise from previous editions. Enhanced by an exclusive 12-page booklet filled with detailed liner notes and never-before-seen photos, These Are The J.B.'s offers an insider's look and listen into the iconic sound that helped shape the modern funk landscape.
