James Brown In The Jungle Groove 180g 2LP (Vinyl)

180g Double LP Reissue of Compilation Album!

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 329/500!

In The Jungle Groove is a compilation album by the great James Brown, originally released in August 1986. Originally issued to capitalize on the popularity of Brown's music in hip hop circles at the time, it includes the first album release of the much-sampled single "Funky Drummer" (1969), along with a selection of previously unreleased tracks, alternate takes, and remixes. The album's title is taken from a song Brown recorded in the studio in August 1970.

This original nine-track set featured the hippest sampled hits and extended DJ b-boy grooves, especially “Funky Drummer,” the most widely heard JB snippet in hip-hop and pop. Super-funky and hard-edged, the album also included the unreleased “I Got To Move.” At the time of its original release in 1986, Brown was in the Pop Top 5 with “Living In America” and was named a charter member of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

This new, remastered edition recreates the original album lineup with a key bonus track: a freshly mixed, extended version of “Blind Man Can See It,” another heavily-sampled track from the early ’70s that first appeared only as a two-minute LP track.

"In the Jungle Groove was one of the first (and still one of the best) collections of James Brown's transitional and hard-hitting soul/funk workouts from 1969-1971...unequaled coverage of Brown's transformation from soul brother number one to funk originator." -Stephen Cook, allmusic.com
