If you like James Brown you'll love this CD. Its one of his best compilations of the recent years. Gett Up Offa That Thing/Dr. Detroit is especially good and a very rare song to find. Granted its not his best work but its good. I think any true fan will enjoy this CD!

If you have his essential recordings from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, and still find yourself craving more-- you could do a lot worse than to pick up this rather brief set. The only bonafide "hit" is, of course, "Living in America." But before you scoff at the idea of a "best of" set of JB in the '80s, ask yourself how many artists have enough material to fill more than one "greatest hits" package. JB has earned his right to be a little self-indulgent.
