Sex Machine is a 1970 double album by James Brown. It showcases the playing of the original J.B.'s lineup featuring Bootsy and Catfish Collins,[1] and includes an 11-minute live rendition of the album's title song. (The album does not include the original studio recording of the song "Sex Machine", which was released as a two-part single in 1970.)

The first LP consists of tracks recorded in the studio (with overdubbed audience applause), while the second LP was actually recorded live in concert in Brown's hometown of Augusta, Georgia.

Sex Machine was ranked 96th in a 2005 survey held by British television's Channel 4 to determine the 100 greatest albums of all time.[2]
