To cap off another week of catalogue livin’ and lovin’, Hip-o Select has announced the ninth volume in its long-running James Brown singles sets. The Singles Vol. 9: 1973-1975 collates all of J.B.’s A and B-sides from the age, along with some duet singles with Lyn Collins and tracks by Fred Wesley and The J.B.’s. As usual, expect the photos, annotations and liner notes penned by Brown’s former touring manager Alan Leeds, easily one of the most knowledgeable experts on The Godfather of Soul.
