The Star Time box set is ESSENTIAL. Arguably one of the top 5 most essential box sets ever. The Live at the Apollo is also ESSENTIAL. Arguably one of the top 10 most essential live albums ever.

In addition to those get The Payback album.

Hip o select singles boxsets 6 to 10

It's kind of surprising there isn't a comprehensive James Brown compilation in the same way that there are ones for Elvis, Johnny Cash, etc.
