James Brown – The Payback

Format: 2x Vinyl LP Album
Pressing: US Original
Country: USA
Released: 1973
Genre: Soul, Funk
Notes: Gatefold

Released in 1973, The Payback is one of James Brown’s most celebrated and ambitious double albums — a sprawling, groove-driven masterpiece that finds the Godfather of Soul at the peak of his funk powers. Originally conceived as the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem, it evolved into a standalone statement of raw, relentless funk energy. The title track alone — a 7-minute slow-burning epic — is one of the most sampled records in hip-hop history. This US original gatefold double LP is an essential piece of funk history. Highlight tracks: The Payback, Mind Power, Forever Suffering.
