When the liner notes for a comprehensive boxed set have the heads of a record label confessing to having “overlooked” the artist, it's safe to assume that the band in question was, at the very least, ahead of its time.

An Hour of Unmatched Punk Rocknew
Something of a holy grail of hardcore, the Bad Brains' three-day run at CBGB in late 1982 is spoken of in hushed tones, referred to reverently and as the object of attendance fibs.

The archivists at Hip-O Select have released the first in a series of limited edition double-disc sets collecting all of James Brown's singles.
