RELEASE DATE: February 29th 2008
CD Edition limited to 5000 non-numbered limited edition copies.
Haight turned to hate in 1968 with very public, grotesque assassinations, a surge of violence in – and dissent toward – the Viet Nam War, and battles in America’s cities. Out of the turbulence, James Brown emerged as the voice of – and to – the people. Polydor Records and www.hip-oselect.com proudly present James Brown The Singles, Vol. 5: 1967-1969, 43 tracks on 2CDs from the eye of the storm. The set opens with “I Can’t Stand Myself (When You Touch Me),” featuring James backed by The Dapps, a white soul band from Cincinnati. (One can only speculate if Neal Sugarman and Gabriel Roth took their inspiration from “I Can’t Stand Myself”’s backing band when they launched Daptone Records and Sharon Jones’ backing band, The Dap-Kings.) The set continues with “I Got The Feelin’” and it’s b-side “If I Ruled The World,” which James opened his August 26, 1968Dallas concert with, as Chicago spiraled into chaos. (The Dallas show can be found on the Polydor release Say It Live and Loud: Live in Dallas 08.26.68.) Also featured are “America Is My Home - Pts. 1&2,” “Licking Stick – Licking Stick - Pts. 1&2” (in mono and stereo), “There Was A Time,” “Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud - Pts. 1&2,” “Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose,” “Soul Pride - Pts. 1&2” and Marva Whitney’s “You Got To Have A Job (If You Don’t Work-You Can’t Eat),” plus radio i.d.’s and the Christmas singles “Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto” and “Let’s Unite The Whole World At Christmas.” 28 page booklet with rare photos and ephemera, detailed sessionography and in-depth track histories accompanies.
