Why I Stock This Record
This is the ultimate Rick James compilation. If you want to understand why Rick James was such a massive force in funk and soul, this double vinyl collects all the biggest hits and strongest cuts in one place.
From the outrageous energy of “You & I” to the smoother, deeper grooves of "Mary Jane" to the disco vibe of "Big Time", this record is loaded with dancefloor weapons. I’ve been playing tracks from this collection for years — it works brilliantly when you need to bring serious funk energy to a set or just want something that gets everyone moving.
It’s loud, colourful, and full of character — exactly what you’d expect from Rick James. Clean copy and plays strong. If you’re building a funk and soul collection, this one is essential.
Review
There's more to US funk god Rick James than just 'Super Freak' and this sprawling retrospective proves it. Across four sides, the Buffalo-born musician's full-spectrum funk is on glorious display i from the righteous bounce of 'You & I' and weed-soaked romance of 'Mary Jane', to the hard-grinding grooves of 'Ghetto Life' and 'Give It To Me Baby'. The hits are all here, but so are deeper cuts like 'She Blew My Mind (69 Times)', 'Cold Blooded' and 'Can't Stop', showing off James's twisted humour, whip-smart arrangements and genre-bending instincts. Highlights like 'Glow', 'Dance Wit Me - Part 1' and the Temptations-featuring 'Standing On The Top' cement his reputation as a psychedelic soul innovator who consistently defied convention. Even the closing Busta Rhymes flip of 'In The Ghetto' feels earned i a nod to his lasting influence on rap and r&b. This isn't just a greatest hits i it's a flex, a time capsule and a reminder that Rick James could outplay, outsing and outfreak almost anyone.
