Flwrpt Rating of this Record: 4.5/5.0
Review
As you all know, James Brown is the man! Very rarely will he create a bad record, this just happens to be one of my favorite records from the Godfather of soul, There It Is, from ’72. This album features a hot spoken word track, called “King Heroin”, arguably one of the most powerful drug cuts ever created. Brown uses this track to speak to those who are letting the white horse of heroin “carry them to hell”…brace your ears for some dope music!
Check out the sound!

Design
This is a pretty decent cover. The illustration is fresh, type is okay, coloring is okay…nothing really stands out about this to me, except for the back cover (which I didn’t photograph), which has an illustration of a white horse, with a man riding it to hell (again with the drug metaphor). Other than that, this cover is not necessarily one of my favorites.
