James Brown’s Complete, Expanded ‘Motherlode’ Rarities Collection Makes Vinyl Debut

New James Brown 2LP expanded ‘Motherlode’ edition puts three of his vital tracks on vinyl for the first time. The rarities collection will make its vinyl release debut on March 8. Polydor/UMe also puts three vital tracks on wax for the first time ever: “I Got Ants In My Pants (And I Want To Dance) (Remix),” “You’ve Changed,” and the epic 12-minute alternate mix of “Bodyheat.”

30 years into forging his unique groove in music, James Brown was inducted as a charter member of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1986. He was then enjoying a double renaissance: riding high on the charts with “Living In America,” his biggest hit in a decade; while on the streets his back catalogue was being rediscovered, sampled and plundered by an international hotbed of DJs, rappers, hip-hoppers and new wave funksters. Honoring Brown’s re-invigoration, Polydor released the collection In The Jungle Groove that year.

Motherlode’s liner notes are by the late Cliff White, the preeminent journalist internationally recognized for his coverage of the Godfather of Soul. His original notes have been updated for the new 2LP set. Original Sessions Produced By James Brown
