James Brown – Sex Machine (Mobile Fidelity 180g 33RPM 2LP Vinyl Set)
James Brown’s Sex Machine (1970) is a funk landmark that captures the Godfather of Soul at the peak of his powers. Blending studio cuts with live recordings from Augusta, GA, the album overflows with explosive grooves, relentless energy, and Brown’s inimitable stage presence. Rolling Stone ranked it among the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, cementing its legacy as one of the most vital funk statements ever put to tape.
Sourced from the original analog master tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 33RPM 2LP set presents Sex Machine in audiophile sound for the first time. With explosive dynamics, lifelike immediacy, and vivid separation, this pressing brings new clarity to Bootsy and Catfish Collins’ rhythm-section fireworks, Maceo Parker’s iconic horn lines, and Brown’s sweat-drenched vocals.
Housed in a deluxe Stoughton gatefold, this definitive reissue lets you experience “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine,” “Brother Rapp,” and “Give It Up or Turnit a Loose” with an intensity that captures the raw fire, freedom, and urgency of Brown and the J.B.’s at their absolute best.
