I ordered this. . . I have no James Brown of this vintage and this is likely a really good series . . . .

Also ordered a four cd set of Tom Jones for my wife. . . 20 bucks.

And if you're a Peggy Lee fan, check out the "Classics & Collectibles" imported two cd set they're selling for 10 bucks! This is a really nice set with some rareties inside including duets with Jim Backus. . . and Jimmy Rowles.

I seem to have about half of these trax. But it's a limited edition. Owwww!

[Harold_Z]

Yeah. I know. I have quite a few of the early (King) lps and a lot of these tracks are on them. I really should check...maybe ALL of them are on those lps.

I agree. This is frustrating. I'm always in favor of more JB product, but taking into account the complicated nature of JB's catalogue and all the previous reissues/collections, I think I would prefer to see a complete box set of JB's work at Federal/King.

Here is my data on this period of JB's work:

With the past history of these things, you should buy two on speculation and one to listen to!

[Harold_Z]

So there are just 4 tracks that weren't on the lps then?

Still, I find this hard to resist. The sound will probably be great. PLUS session info. Non existent on the King lps.

[HolyStitt]

Did anyone buy this set?

[jazzbo]

Yes, I did. Very nicely done.

[HolyStitt]

Yes, I did. Very nicely done.

Thank you for responding.

Did you hear any significant sound improvement over previous issues of the material?

[jazzbo]

My previous versions of this material are on scratched party lp and cassettes. . . .

So. .. YES.

[John L]

This is a bit frustrating, as it looks like the previous Roots of a Revolution set, but with the hits added. (Roots of a Revolution covered only the non-hits, as they apparently didn't want competition with the Greatest Hits collections. )

At any rate, I have programmed the hits in through iTunes. So I would only bite if there was a MAJOR sonic upgrade here.

Speaking of Hip-0-Select, is anybody familiar with the post-Motown David Ruffin albums that are now available?

[Stefan Wood]

I used to have the Roots of a Revolution set, and I consider this to be a sonic upgrade. Better liner notes as well.

Are you asking about the titles on the Hip-0-Select site?

Actually, I misunderstood. These are Motown albums. I meant David Ruffin volume 2. I absolutely adore the track "Walk Away From Love." But I wonder how the rest of the Van McCoy stuff holds up with Ruffin. I have Ruffin volume 1, and like that.

Since I've still got Roots Of A Revolution, I can't see my way clear to getting this new set.

Just became aware of this series and you sir were right, which means I'm out of luck, ain't no way paying these prices for a couple of cds.

[Van Basten II]

Found in a used cd store volume 2 for 18 $

A sad tale about the limits of power, from this week's Financial Times:

[billyboy]

Amazon offers MP3 downloads of this series, even the out of print ones, for about $14. For some reason, volume 9 is only $3.99! You miss out on the liners, but if you want the music, There It Is!

[Steve Gray]

Volume 10 out now

JB 10

[king ubu]

I'm hooked by this series... got Vols. 3, 4 and 6 now, waiting for Vols. 1, 5, and 7-9 to be delivered in the next days/weeks.

Amazon.com still has Vols. 1 and 5, but Vol. 2 is way over the top right now... anyone has a lead where I might find that one?
