JB40 James Brown 40th Anniversary Collection

~ Release by James Brown (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Previous editor wrote - Apparently this is a 2002 re-release of the original 1996 "40th Anniversary Collection". The only obvious difference is the substitution of "Hey America" for "Ain't It Funky Now" as the last track.
