James Brown 12"????

[markydefad]

Billboard says (Polydor 12-inch) by "GET UP OFFA THAT THING (Release The Pressure)" Was this really a 12" in 1976???? or just a 7" --part 1 & 2???

Just goin' for accuracy, kidz

The 12" exists; however, I don't know if it was originally released at the time, or if it was reissued in the format later, when the medium became more widespread...

James Brown had at least two 12 inch singles on TK. They're in the Records section of this site under "B."

It was released at the time.

Still got mine!!!!

I've seen a handful of James Brown 12 inches from that late 70s era. I think the one 12 inch issue of a song that wasn't from that period was Doing It To Death, which was released in 1973 as a single and on the LP, but put on a 12 inch in 77 or so.

Man, I've been looking for a STEREO version of "Doin It To Death" but haven't been able to find one.
The 45 is in MONO, the LP is in MONO (except the spoken intro).

I don't think it ever came out in STEREO.

It was one of those tunes that JB probably preferred in mono. I read somewhere that if he liked the mono mix, he was happy just to leave it be. You'll find there are quite a number of tunes he only had mixed as mono, like Stone To The Bone and Don't Tell It. I have a feeling someone would love to do remixes in stereo of these, but the tapes are probably missing.
