AMG Review of Playlist Plus
Andy Kellman
All Music GuideLike other volumes in Universal's Playlist Plus series, this compilation is spread across three discs and is recommendable for anyone who doesn't want to stop with a well-chosen single- or double-disc James Brown anthology, which could only possibly cover a fraction of the Soul Brother Number One's most significant material. Containing 36 cuts -- including all of the number one black singles, from the late-'60s chart toppers "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," "Mother Popcorn," and "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose" to the following decade's "Get on the Good Foot," "Super Bad," and "The Payback" -- the set will be more than enough to satisfy the newcomers.
