james brown - talkin' loud and syaing nothin' pts 1 and 2

[DynamicSyncopator]

This version I'm fairly certain was JB with the Grodeck Whipperjenny band ;)

In addition, one of the instrumentalists on this rock version (as I read in the King Records sessionography) was Dave Matthews who later arranged many of the early 1970's New York sessions of Brown's for Polydor.

There was originally a plan to put out BOTH versions under the same catalogue number - this one as 45-P-6359 (the "P" in this case standing for Popular, recorded with a heavy rock band earlier in 1970) and the better-known recording from later '70 with Bootsy, Catfish et al., as 45-S-6359 (S = Soul). But no known pressings of the latter exist, and it wasn't until 1972 when that one finally came out as Polydor PD 14109.

Reminds me of when LL did "Mama Said Knock You Out" on MTV Unplugged. James was always ahead of the curve. Peace to Cool Pop.

Found this version on the digital jukebox. Now it's the only one I listen to.

I picked up a promo of this recently for 10.00. Rivals the better known funk version.

The mega-rare "rock" version of this song...quickly pulled from distribution and replaced with the familiar take with Bootsy Collins and company (with the same catalog number).

This is one of JB's experimental rock-styled recordings from 1969-70 (he was also dabbling with cocktail lounge jazz stuff during this period)..

@SeanElGatoTelevision - Actually, King pulled this "rock" version before any copies could be pressed with the Bootsy/Catfish JBs (Mark I) rendition (which was to have been 45-S-6359, designated for the R&B market, as opposed to this 45-P-6359 which was intended for the rock/pop market) - and in any case the more familiar version remained unissued until Polydor released it (on PD 14109) in early '72.

[Buckeyecat2002]

Wow. Hip Hop is straight reminiscent and derivative of James Brown and many other real musicians and real song writers.

[BagpipeHustler]

wow straight reminiscent of hip-hop

Nice post mate.  There's a version of this 45 with a white label also.
