The legendary James Brown delivers his groundbreaking first film score with Black Caesar (1973), now reissued on 180g vinyl with faithfully replicated artwork.

Written for the cult blaxploitation classic starring Fred Williamson, this soundtrack blends raw funk, soul, and cinematic intensity. Featuring contributions from the J.B.’s and Lyn Collins, it stands as one of Brown’s most iconic releases.

A cornerstone for hip-hop sampling, tracks like The Boss have been reworked by artists including Ice-T, Trick Daddy, and Nas. The album also includes Down And Out In New York City, a charting single arranged by Fred Wesley.

This release marks the moment Brown embraced the title “Godfather of Soul”—and proves exactly why.
