The tenth volume of Hip-o Select’s ongoing James Brown singles series is ready to order.

The Singles Volume 10 collects each side of all the 45s J.B. released from 1975 to 1979. At a time when disco was taking hold of pop music’s conscience, the Godfather of Soul soldiered on as the self-proclaimed “Minister of New Super Heavy Funk,” and delivered just that with classics like “Get Up Offa That Thing,” “Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved, Loved),” “Bodyheat” and “It’s Too Funky in Here.” Some choice rarities abound, including some James Brown-ified covers of popular standards and The J.B.’s “Everybody Wanna Get Funky One More Time,” the final single released on People Records (all other selections bowed on the Polydor label).

As always, the set will feature a nice, thick booklet full of rare photos and memorabilia and detailed notes from the J.B. guru himself, Alan Leeds. It’s yours to order at Hip-o Select; hit the jump to check out the track list!
