"Jackpot Records presents the release of the Complete James Brown Christmas Collection, 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!"

"There It Is is another funk bomb, a classic, stuttering bass-heavy workout featuring that super sockin' hard emphasis on the one. Swiltering horns and Fred Thomas' bumpin' bass further enhance this track's superior groove. For all-out shake-your-bootie funk, Brown finally put out 'Talkin' Loud, Sayin' Nothin'', a wildebeest of a groove. There's more groovology with the stupendously pacey 'I'm a Greedy Man', with its twangin' guitars and James' and Bobby Byrds' funky harmonizing on the chorus. And then the anti-Nixon grooves of 'Talkin' Loud And Saying Nothing', coupled with two moving antidrug PSA's, the classic, jazzy 'King Heroin' and the harrowing 'Public Enemy #1'. This record offers surprises while sounding more classic than dated."

"No People Records collection would be complete without a contribution from the Godfather of Soul himself. 'Escape-Ism' is 70s-era James Brown at his finest, supposedly written to kill time while he and The JBs waited for Bobby Byrd to arrive at their studio. A winding, two-part funk/soul epic, spanning both-sides of the single, the track reached #6 in the Billboard R&B charts, #25 in the pop charts, and would later be sampled by The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Big Daddy Kane. It's now presented here for the first time in over 30 years, in its original 7" single format."

In a career filled with hits, legends, and countless high points, 1959's Please Please Please may very well be the highest point of all. The debut album from James Brown and his Famous Flames, Please Please Please comprised all his charting singles up to that point as well as many classic B-sides. If the legendary title-track weren't enough, the album also features the #1 single "Try Me" and 14 more of Brown's early R&B classic. An absolutely essential album for anyone with a soul.
