Limited to 5000 copies. Paper sleeve. I GOT THE FEELIN' was released in 1968 as KING KS-1031 in stereo. It was released in France and Germany as KING OF SOUL with cover art that portrayed Brown dressed as Uncle Sam! It was released in Japan numerous times on CD, including a 2007 mini-LP sleeve issue. Although it has the usual mix of previously released singles, it's one of his earliest thematically sound albums, with all the tracks having been recorded within a year's time, between March '67 and '68.

K-pop seven-member boy band combining love ballads, dance music, and rapping.

Limited to 5000 copies. Paper sleeve. RAW SOUL, originally released as KING-1610 was James Brown's second of five album releases in 1967. The iconic "rainbow" cover was traded for a more "hip" line drawing when the album was reissued in 1970. The original 1967 UK release on Pye International had it's own unique jacket as well. All subsequent CD issues reverted to the original art. The album was the usual mix of recent single releases with two cuts (3 & 8) from the unreleased (at the time) OUT OF SIGHT and one rare (for Brown at the time) LP only track (10).

Guitarist Leigh Stephens quit Blue Cheer after touring in support of their second album, Outsideinside, but he may have been amused by the fact it took three men to replace him when the band cut their next LP. There are two different and distinct bands at work on New! Improved! Blue Cheer; on the album's first six tunes, founding members Dickie Peterson (bass and vocals) and Paul Whaley (drums) are joined by Bruce Stephens on guitar and Ralph Burns Kellogg on keyboards, and this lineup bears little musical resemblance to the wildly over-amped power trio that cut Vincebus Eruptum less than two years before.
