I love this song, it is one of my favorite James Brown songs of all time. His post 1974 records were some of his best even if they didn't always have much commercial success. FYI, you can buy this album on CD at 'Hiposelect' on line, which also is releasing all of Mr. Brown's singles on CD, (they are up to vol. 8).
I've been jamming on this for a couple hours. It's a weird chord change that James really got into around this time in the 70's. It starts on a Bbdom7 vamp but the change goes to Ddom7. In fact, the part in D is a reworked version of James' song 'It's A New Day' from 1970. Thanks, JackHogan.
i think mr. brown was a little upset ! you can tell by his opening rapp! he didnt get his props and he was mad about it!!!!

@thisblackgirl -This LP was re-released on vinyl as an import in the USA. It is probably to be found on ebay or Amazon.
