Brown and his band, The Famous Flames, had already toured the South when he was signed for $200 to Federal, but he had yet to convince Nathan and Federal to allow him to record with the band.
Nathan signed Macon, Georgia performer James Brown in 1956 to his King subsidiary, Federal, despite a less than favorable view of the "Please, Please, Please" demo (in short, "That's the worst piece of crap I've heard in my life"). He tried country, blues, doo-wop and R&B- he might not have capitalized on every opportunity (most notably letting The Platters go to Mercury in 1953, only to witness them become the most successful vocal group of the decade), but he was certainly willing to try. He was keenly aware of talent, using A&R reps (who would later be his scapegoats when pressed by the FCC during the payola hearings of the 50s) to snatch up big band singers and bandleaders, in the hopes of transforming them into viable sensations for what would one day be called "crossover" appeal. The King Records founder had a long history of working with black performers, ever since the late 40s when he decided to get into "the race business" after initially only concentrating on "hillbilly accounts." This is a man who had not only started his own independent label, but also bankrolled his own recording studios, pressing plant and distribution network.

Dynamite ever put out, or for fans of funk in general. This is great for the James Brown completest who needs to have every record Mr. While we have no idea why it was shelved for the past four decades, at this point we don't care because it's finally getting it's proper release with the help of Get On Down. If you're familiar with all these artists, you no doubt know what great musicians they were and how James Brown pushed them to be the best they could be. While there have been three previous volumes of the Live At The Apollo series, with the first being arguably the best live record of all time, Volume IV focuses on the hot bed of talent JB brought into his stable during this time. It features The JBs, Bobby Byrd, Lyn Collins, and The Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown.
These recordings come from the famous concert recorded over two nights in September of 1972 at the mecca of music in NYC. The James Brown Revue: Live At The Apollo IV has never been issued before on vinyl or CD. This release is one of the major reasons we feel that they are doing a great service to vinyl collectors, old and new. They are a vital piece of the vinyl community and continue to raise the bar, especially with limited edition pieces like this. These guys have gone above and beyond to be the boutique label that reissues unheard (and heard) hip hop and other types of genres they feel are pertinent to the culture. And again, it's from Boston's Get On Down. That being said, there are some releases that are necessary. Having been involved in projects that were related to the yearly celebration, we still have the opinion that every day is Record Store Day, and that most of the releases that come out are unnecessary.
