James Brown: Sex Machine (Part 2)
Album 141 - September 1970
Episode date - May 22, 2019
Last show we played the first half of this album (sides 1 and 2). Neither of those sides were genuinely "live recordings". Instead, they were studio ‘alternates’ with live crown noise added.
Oddly, sides 3 and 4 are genuinely live as advertised. As is typical with most things involving James Brown, things are rarely what they appear to be, but the songs featured in this specific program (with one exception) were recorded live in Georgia.
Featured tracks include:
I Don’t Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing
Licking Stick – Licking Stick
Lowdown Popcorn
Spinning Wheel
If I Ruled the World
There Was a Time
It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
Please, Please, Please
I Can’t Stand Myself
Mother Popcorn
September 1970 - Billboard Charted #29
