Great "funk" album!

Excellent Soundtrack Compilation w/ Rare James Brown Track

"This is a swell little complilation of pure funk tunes. I've no idea if the film they were supposedly used in ever saw the light of day (or the darkeness of a theater) but the music speaks for itself.



Of particular interest to hard-core James Brown fans is an undubbed version of the 1976 track "Can't Take it With You." The track as it was released in '76, and in subsequent compilation reissues before this one, was heavily overdubbed by Brown with additional percussion and group "party" vocals. This cd is the ONLY commercial source for the pure, undubbed version. And the undubbed version is far superior to the released version--harder hitting, with a more muscular mix and less nonsense going on in the background.



Of course, only of interest to hard core JB fans."
