Limited to 5000 copies. Paper sleeve. SAY IT LOUD - I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD was James Brown's initial album release for 1969, as KING 5-1047 in stereo within a gatefold jacket. It was preceded by A SOULFUL CHRISTMAS and followed by GETTIN' DOWN TO IT, his great jazzy album backed by The Dee Felice Trio. It was also released simultaneously in England, France, Germany and Spain. In 1990 it was available for the first time on CD from Japan, and later had a US release in 1996. That's the version I would recommend, I'm not sure that the Japanese imports have the track info and liner notes in English.
Brown was on a roll, churning out one funk classic after another, like COLD SWEAT,I GOT THE FEELIN' and OUT OF SIGHT, with many more to come, including THE POPCORN,IT'S A MOTHER,AIN'T IT FUNKY and SOUL ON TOP. Although his albums still contained mostly recently released singles, they were no longer all over the place from different eras like some of his earlier platters, most now featured material recorded within a year's time, which made them more homogenous.
