The record, long considered a soul classic, actually features two different bands. The concert recordings feature Brown's band from the 1960s, while the studio songs feature Brown's then-new band, powered by Bootsy Collins on bass and Pelps \"Catfish\" Collins on guitar.\n\u003cbr\u003eWhether these recordings are \"live\" or not is really not the point; Brown has never sung a calculated note in his life, and one would be hard-pressed to distinguish whether one of Brown's trademark howls was recorded in a studio or onstage. His scat singing on \"Brother Rapp\" sure sounds live. As the furious, barely one-minute-long \"I Got the Feelin'\" segues into the pure funky adrenaline rush of \"Give it Up or Turnit A Loose,\" it is nearly impossible to keep still. The groove is that infectious. Surprisingly, the title track is not the hit single version of \"Sex Machine,\" but rather an extended, more leisurely rendition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1993-03-23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1993-03-23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49261963903218,"sku":"7UJR37-0N12-SE","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/james-brown-sex-machine_N8Nht.jpg?v=1779727063","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/sex-machine","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
