Description: It would seem impossible to summarize James Brown's contribution to R&B--to American music--in a mere four compact discs, but somehow Star Time does it. This boxed set charts Brown's early rise as a hard-hitting R&B-styled vocalist ("Please Please Please," "Try Me") and shows how his bandleading skills (one can't forget inventive players like saxophonist Maceo Parker, bassist Bootsy Collins, drummer Jabo Starks, and many others) changed the face of soul and invented funk in the '60s and early '70s with impeccably timed ("Papa's Got a Brand New Bag"), highly rhythmic ("I Can't Stand It"), primal ("Licking Stick Licking Stick") hits. The box also does a definitive programming job on Brown's more spotty later years--another plus. This is where beginners should start, but several extended versions and rarities (like "Papa," raised an octave on original release, at normal speed) make it a must for completists too. --Don Harrison

Reviews:

James Brown - Star Time

This is probably the funkiest collection available. There's just no way you could be dissapointed by this boxset if you are at all interested in James Brown. It's awesome, relentless and irresistible: this music will bring out the funk in YOU and it feels just great. Also... this is invigorating music, somehow (this I think it has in common with classical music) it makes anything you play afterwards fresh and new (unless it's something really twee like the Carpenters) and for that alone it is easily recommended. If you have the cash, this is money well spent. There's a reason for all the 5 star reviews here. It's Star Time!

Passion in Music

One of the greatest artistic achievements of the 20th century. No one has expressed more passionate humanity, or human passion, in music than James Brown. I only wish I could have seen him live sometime in the 60's or 70's. Instead, I have him on several video tapes. Seeing him sliding across the stage on one foot, throwing the mike stand forward, spinning around just in time to catch it on its way back up--Maaan! Listening to anything on this set of discs will blow your troubles away--right now! My personal favorites are "I'll Go Crazy", "Papa Don't Take No Mess", "Licking Stick", and "Brand New Bag". When I get to be an old white guy, instead of the middle-aged one I am now, I will have my boombox in the nursing home. You'd better believe I'm going to crank out "Star Time" at full volume--I hope they throw me out! Get on the good foot with Mr. Dynamite, the amazing Mr. Please, Please, Please, the hardest working man in show business . . . Huh! Good God, Y'all!

The Rosetta Stone of Funk

Welcome to Ground Zero, funkateers. Without JB, would we have Sly? P-Funk? Prince? Would Miles have gone electric? Would hip-hop exist? The answers lie within these 4 discs. This set is DENSE, but oh so fine...

I've had "Star Time" since its release in '91 (it's the reason I bought my first CD player), and it is still in heavy rotation. Worth every penny then, and now.
