Photographers: Guy Ferrell; Charles Stewart ; Bootsy Collins. Subtitled 1970: A BRAND NEW THANG, this year was indeed a pivotal one for James Brown. His entire band quit and he quickly assembled a new and much smaller outfit centered around 18-year-old bass whiz Bootsy Collins. Where his previous Flames had been choreographed to turn or stop on a dime both on stage and on record, this youthful new combo, dubbed the J.B.'s, had an unruly quality; they were an edgier, scruffier lot. The selections on this collection feature numerous previously unreleased unedited takes and alternate mixes. Brown recorded at a furious pace, with "Sex Machine" bringing him out of a commercial slump. However, barely a year later, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business was again without a band when Bootsy quit, taking most of the other members with him.
