I saw a "Best of James Brown" cd brand new on ebay for under $6 - not a bootleg either.

Nothing beats 1973's album The Payback.

Revolution of the Mind.

The re-issue is good, but yeah, starting with any of the above
poster's suggestions or a good 2-5 disc box set would be the
best way to start in on his prodigious discography.

Or, you could always go with the rare 80's James Brown?
I'm Real is an overlooked classic.
