A Few Singles, Not Two Discs' Worthnew
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. Knowing the goodness that lies in store when they get to the voluminous non-LP singles of the late '60s and early '70s, it’s easy to forgive the contents of this set.

Empire Strikes Out
Empire sounds as if it were composed on a pub napkin when the band was on bacchanalian auto-pilot during five spare minutes between a drunken brawl with Liam Gallagher and a failed pass at Kate Moss.

Classical Urban Ambassadornew
