| | James Brown Star Time CD James Brown Discography of CDs
 (7 Customer Reviews)
STAR TIME includes a 64-page booklet with three essays - brief appreciations by writer Nelson George and Brown's longtime tour manager Alan Leeds and a longer history by 2 of the box's producers - a complete discography and an introduction penned ... Full Descriptionby the Godfather of Soul himself.
There are few box sets that can match the greatness of James Brown's STARTIME. Backed by such brilliant musicians as Melvin and Maceo Parker, Bootsy Collins and Bobby Byrd, Brown created some of the most intense, soulful music ever recorded. Collecting seventy two tracks that let you hear why Brown is hailed as "the hardest working man in show business," STARTIME is packed with the best R&B and funk that money can buy.
From early-'60s R&B hits like "Please, Please, Please" and late-'60s funk essentials like "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" and "Sex Machine" to the massively influential '70s funk grooves "Funky Drummer" and "The Payback," STARTIME gives you all the James Brown basics. This set is a monument to the life and music of one of the most colorful and inspired performers in popular music. STARTIME also comes with a 64-page booklet that features rare and wonderful photos and essays by Nelson George and several other noted critics. Essential.
Personnel includes: James Brown (vocals, piano, organ); Bobby Byrd (vocals. organ); Phelps "Catfish" Collins (guitar); Maceo Parker (tenor & baritone saxophones); St. Clair Pickney, Pee Wee Ellis, Clifford "Ace King" MacMillian (tenor saxophone); Al "Brisco" Clark (baritone saxophone); Lewis Hamlin (trumpet); William "Bootsy" Collins, Bernard Odum (bass); John "Jabo" Starks, Nat Kendrick (drums).

Compilation producer: Harry Weinger.Rolling Stone (5/13/99, p.52) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's."
Rolling Stone (5/30/91) - 5 Stars - Classic - "...a staggering collection....goes well beyond the usual hits 'n' rarities approach of boxed retrospectives to get at the essence of Brown's development from gospel-style shouter...to Soul Brother No. 1...and from God-father of Soul...to grandfather of rap..."
Rolling Stone (4/18/91) - "...The success of STAR TIME should pave the way for further examination of the James Brown catalog....the box is an ideal way to reintroduce Brown's massive body of work to a public more familiar with his legend than with the records themselves..."
Entertainment Weekly (6/12) - "...soul history as a headlong rush of killer hooks, brain-melting horn blasts, and a scream that fuses passion and violence in one initiable call of the wild..." - Rating: A
Q (6/91) - 5 Stars - Indespensable - "...Brown is one of the half- dozen most important, most influential individual oeuvres of the entire rock-and-roll era: the equal of Dylan, The Beatles and Motown....This isn't just the history of one artist; it is literally the history of the groove, the beat that can't be beat..."
Uncut (p.119) - 5 stars out of 5 - "No home's complete without it."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.115) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[T]he music is undimmed from blues, jazz and R&B to soul and funk."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this helpful. we miss you, brother james
if you are out of cash just go to the bank drive to the nearest best buy and get this box set!. disc one has a mix of jazz, soul, instrumentals, early rock and roll and funk and it is called mr. dynamite!. disc 2 has the more funky grooves and political anthems. disc 3 has super cool funk like mother popcorn, hot pants, ants in my pants, talking loud and saying nothing and funky drumeer. disc 4 has the payback and despite the decline he can still move on with unity. no wonder rolling stone loves this boxed set. go on git!.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Can your heart stand it ?
This JB four cd set is possibly a contender for the greatest collection of modern day music ever put together. Without him, there would be no Parliament, Prince,
Fela Kuti, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Stooges, hip hop etc. Every cd is a gem from the early Little Richard/Ray Charles tracks through to such
seminal tracks like "Cold Sweat Pts 1,2 3", " Bring It Up", and the brilliant social commentary of "King Heroin" the most frightening anti drug song written. Can your heart stand to miss listening to this glorious music ?

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Never Out of Date!!
There are a lot of artists today that penned their music after the Godfather of Soul James Brown! This CD is one of the ultimate greatest hits that you could have in your music collection.
I have this collection and it's the best money I could have ever spent!
Buy it, and you won't be dissappointed.
