Releasing his first five albums in three years, funk pioneer James Brown was busy earning his title as the Hardest Working Man in Show Business right from the get-go. Collected in the four-disc set Five Classic Albums Plus, those five albums, Please Please Please (1959), Try Me! (1959), Think! (1960), The Amazing James Brown (1961), and James Brown Presents His Band (1961) take listeners on an amazing, rhythm-filled romp through the singer’s early days and commercial breakthrough with his band, the Famous Flames.
A compilation for new fans and collectors alike, the set also includes plenty of B-sides, singles, and live tracks (including sets from Brown‘s appearances on Soul Train in the ’70s), giving old fans plenty to pour over while the newly initiated break in their dancing shoes with these classic albums.
