Get Up, Give It Up, and Turn It Loose: James Brown and His Bands Deliver Electrifying Performances on the Funky Sex Machine, Ranked Among the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone.

Monster 1970 Double Album Presented in Audiophile Sound for the First Time: Mobile Fidelitys Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Explosive Dynamics and Vibrant Clarity

James Brown wants to know one thing before he and his band begin Sex Machine. Can I get into the thing, really?, he asks. His cohorts enthusiastically respond in the affirmative. And for the next hour and change, Mr. Dynamite gets into it and more, turning in a sweat-soaked, feet-moving, hip-swiveling, emotion-purging, in-the-red, drop-everything-youre-doing-and-dance performance for the ages. Ranked by Rolling Stone among the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, the sweeping 1970 effort towers as a testament to Browns inimitable legacy as well as the peak powers of his voice, vibrancy, and bands.

Sourced from the original master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging, Mobile Fidelitys numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents Sex Machine in audiophile sound for the first time. It explodes with the energy the lightning-strike music demands. Dynamic, immediate, present, airy: Everything from the brassiness and fluidity of the horns to the snap and decay of the snare to the swell and carry of the organ comes across in full-range perspective.
