Starting with an evocative cover it was clear to fans that this album wasn’t all about a party. Deep messages abound in the songs here, such as the nearly 10-minute?workout “I’m Paying Taxes, But What Am I Buying.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSocial messages aside, Fred and his assembled JBs were a party-moving funk machine at heart, as heard on “If You Don’t Get It The First Time, Back Up And Try It Again Party” and the laid-back groove of “Same Beat” (with prototypical sampling of Jesse Jackson exhorting an audience to chant “I am \/ Somebody”). Nestled among these raise-your-fist classics is one of the most experimental funk cuts ever made: “Blow Your Head,” known to relatively modern listeners as the backbone of Public Enemy’s “Public Enemy #1” (from 1987).? Other tracks have been sampled by EPMD, Run-DMC, De La Soul, Digable Planets, and Ice-T among others.?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet On Down pays reverent tribute to this classic by pressing it on 150-gram vinyl, housed in a 1970s style Stoughton jacket in an 8-gauge custom polybag emblazoned with an embossed People Records logo.?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 ? ? ? ?Damn Right I'm Somebody\u003cbr\u003eA2 ? ? ? ?Blow Your Head\u003cbr\u003eA3 ? ? ? ?I'm Payin' Taxes, What Am I Buyin'?\u003cbr\u003eB1 ? ? ? ?Same Beat (Part 1)\u003cbr\u003eB2 ? ? ? ?If You Don't Get It The First Time, Back Up \u0026amp; Try It Again, Party\u003cbr\u003eB3 ? ? ? ?Make Me What You Want Me To Be\u003cbr\u003eB4 ? ? ? ?Going To Get A Thrill\u003cbr\u003eB5 ? ? ? ?You Sure Love To Ball\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fred Wesley and The JBs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853265101143,"sku":"ZZ-GET54069-LP","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/DamnRight.png?v=1782185649","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/the-jbs-damn-right-i-am-somebody-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
