JC Brooks & Uptown Sound ‘Get It Together’ LIMITED COLORED VINYL CHICAGO PRESSING! 45
After burning through the first pressing of ‘Get It Together’ b/w ‘I Am Trying to Break Your Heart’ over the summer and during the group’s Spanish tour, we decided to press a very limited “Chicago edition” of RF10 to celebrate the hometown of JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound, Wilco and the Rabbit Factory. There are only 250 copies featuring the colors of the Chicago flag — blue and white labels surrounded by beautiful, clear red vinyl. Includes download code & mini poster advert.
The black vinyl will remain in print but when this Chicago edition is gone it’s gone!
The video for ‘I Am Trying to Break Your Heart’ has just hit 100,000 views!
The band recently went on tour to Spain to promote the European release ‘Beat of Our Own Drum’ on Vampisoul. Check out their tour blog
Our friend Chuck Sudo reviewed the 45 for the Chicagoist!

Get It Together b/w I am Trying to Break Your Heart
After months of touring and playing these songs live throughout the Midwest and East Coast, small clubs to festival stages, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound partnered with the Rabbit Factory to bring you these crowd favorites. The A-side, Get It Together, is a floor-filling funk number while the B-side pays homage to Chicago rock heroes Wilco with a killer cover of I am Trying to Break Your Heart. Each 45 comes with a download code of both songs.

Syl Johnson & JC Brooks Rabbit Factory Show
AMAZING four colored, 24 x 36 screened and hand-numbered poster designed and printed by John Sampson for a Ponderosa Stomp benefit concert we had in Feb ’08. The show featured Syl Johnson, JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, Adam Fitz and the Stacks. We have a handful of these left for a very reasonable price!
