I'm going on a four-week long trip and so I'm buying four CDs -- one for each week! What are four CDs you can listen to over and over and over and over and over . . . . they have to be really awesome.

if youre gonna get a james brown album make it live at the apollo 62.

― tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Sunday, 30 May 2004 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it'd come down to the 20 All-Time and Live at the Apollo for me. You can get Live at the Apollo remastered with bonus tracks for about $10 anywhere now, so that might give it the edge.

James Brown albums and be done?

Ain't nothin' wrong with a little 'surface pleasure,' considering how the other three provide the 'depth'.
