His entire band quit and he quickly assembled a new and much smaller outfit centered around 18-year-old bass whiz Bootsy Collins. Where his previous Flames had been choreographed to turn or stop on a dime both on stage and on record, this youthful new combo, dubbed the J.B.'s, had an unruly quality; they were an edgier, scruffier lot.The selections on this collection feature numerous previously unreleased unedited takes and alternate mixes. Brown recorded at a furious pace, with "Sex Machine" bringing him out of a commercial slump. However, barely a year later, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business was again without a band when Bootsy quit, taking most of the other members with him. Professional Reviews: Down Beat (2/97, p.56) - 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...The feel is indeed different from his needle-sharp earlier band, but the funk gets longer, shaggier, messier--and not in a bad way....More pure, gritty joy-juice." JazzTimes (12/96, p.111) - "...a crucial disc. Besides containing some of the Godfather's deadliest grooves, it traces the genesis of one of the '70s' most influential bands, i.e. Brown's original J.B.'s..."
