Solid Gold: 30 Golden Hits
# Solid Gold: 30 Golden Hits

Solid Gold: 30 Golden Hits, também conhecida como 30 Golden Hits/21 Golden Years, é uma coletânea musical de James Brown. O álbum duplo foi lançado em 1977 pela Polydor e relançado pelo selo em 1986. As notas do álbum listam as datas de lançamento e as posições alcançadas nas paradas musicais americanas de cada canção e uma dissertação de Cliff White. De acordo com o crítico da Allmusic, William Ruhlman, a coleção era "estado de arte", "não apenas...para muitas coletâneas de Brown que se seguiriam nos anos seguintes, mas também para o boom de coletâneas em geral". Em 1981, o crítico do Village Voice, Robert Christgau, a descreveu como "uma coleção essencial." A Allmusic afirma que a coletânea supre "a essência de James Brown", e também afirma que só foi superado pelo box set com 4 discos de 1991, Star Time".
