More Mess On My Thing (RSD BF 2019)

The companion to These Are The JB’s - the long lost, unreleased album by James Brown’s first backing band: the Bootsy Collinslead JB’s, that Now-Again issued in 2014.

Also included is the JB’s powerful medley not presented on Now–Again’s issue of the lost These Are The JB’s. Covers by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles.
