Starting with an evocative cover it was clear to fans that this album wasn't all about a party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeep messages abound in the songs here, such as the nearly 10-minute workout \"I'm Paying Taxes, But What Am I Buying.\" Social 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 Paarty\" 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 cut ever made: \"Blow Your Head,\" known to relatively modern listeners as the backbone of Public Enemy's \"Public Enemy #1\" (from 1987).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nGet On Down\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nFunk \u0026amp; Soul Side A\u003cbr\u003e\nDamn Right, I Am Somebody\u003cbr\u003e\nBlow Your Head\u003cbr\u003e\nI'm Payin' Taxes, What Am I Buyin'?\u003cbr\u003e\nSide B\u003cbr\u003e\nSame Beat (Pt. 1)\u003cbr\u003e\nIf You Don't Get It The First Time, Back Up \u0026amp; Try It Again, Parrty\u003cbr\u003e\nMake Me What You Want Me To Be\u003cbr\u003e\nGoing To Get A Thrill\u003cbr\u003e\nYou Sure Love To Ball\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50025050407105,"sku":"GET54069LP","price":60.96,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/444072-Product-0-I-638917029420738099.jpg?v=1772413242","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/damn-right-i-am-somebody-vinyl-by-fred-wesley-the-j-b-s","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
