From the back cover:
"Side Two of this album contains Mr. Brown's instrumental version of his latest hits such as "Cold Sweat," "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose," and new tunes such as "Nose Job," "Use Your Mother," and "After You Done It.""

This version can be distinguished by its labels. For example, unlike on the version with a monochromatic black label background color and the club version, which has a blue monochromatic label background color, the labels on this version have a half-black, half-orange background color scheme.

    My pressing is kinda quiet. Apart from this: great music.

      JB's organ playing on the A-side is... uninspired to say the least. The rest of the band is top notch, though. Check out the B-side where JB just lets them do their thing.

        Killer break-beat album. Right up there with the Meters for funk grooves.
