referencing Ain't It Funky (LP) KS-1092
Anyone have a copy they'd be interested in trading? Have lots to offer. Cheers!
My pressing is kinda quiet. Apart from this: great music.
JB's organ playing on the A-side is... uninspired to say the least. The rest of the band is top notch, though. Check out the B-side where JB just lets them do their thing.
Killer break-beat album. Right up there with the Meters for funk grooves.- Warning: The speed is wrong on "Ain't it funky now".

If James Brown and company weren't already at the height of their funkiness, they were fast approaching! Ain't the Funky should be included in the hall of fame of JB classic grooves. Aside from the cooler than cool cat production employed by JB, there are some serious gut-busting moments on this song. Listen to the entire 9 or so minutes and you'll hear him "get into his thing" by making sounds that can only be described as inappropriate, call on a reluctant Jabo Starks (drummer) to confirm that the song is indeed funky, and attempt to impress everyone with his non-existent organ skills (read Fred Wesley's "Hit me Fred" autobiography for more info on JB and the facial expressions he made while playing the organ).
Gang Starr used "Nose Job" on their Step in the Arena album I believe.
