James Brown - It's A Mother

140-gram vinyl

James Brown — It's a Mother

It's a Mother, released in August 1969, goes far beyond soul: it anticipates the deeper funk to come. It features the monster two-part single, "Mother Popcorn," a No. 1 R&B and No. 11 pop hit and one of the last of the classic Pee Wee Ellis arrangements for James Brown.

The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard R&B/Soul LP chart and No. 26 on the Billboard 200. Decades later, its sequence of hip tracks, ballads and jams makes it a benchmark for producers, neo-funk bands and crate digging DJs. Available on 140-gram high-quality virgin vinyl.
