Brown, James
The Complete James Brown Christmas (3lp)
'The Complete James Brown Christmas' collection is a three-LP set featuring music from 1966-1970. You absolutely don't need to be a holiday music lover to fall in love with the music spilling out over these James Brown records, as most of the tracks are original compositions that hold their own against many of the grooves that Brown was recording during this high-water mark of his career. With bonus tracks galore and fantastic liner notes by Alan Leeds (former James Brown publicist and tour manager), and mastered/cut by legendary mastering engineer Kevin Gray, this is a must-have-even if you have to give yourself a well-earned, early musical present this year!
