Essential

Many albums are hyped as legendary; few deserve the accolade. Live At The Apollo 1962 is one of those rare albums that lives up to the hype.

Released despite label misgivings, Live at the Apollo cemented <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/james-brown">James Brown's</a> reputation as the unchallenged master of soul music. Deejays played the entire album at one stretch - this in an era when radio programmers rejected four-minute singles because they were too long - and the record reached number two on the billboard pop chart, a previously unheard-of achievement for a gritty r&amp;b album. This is a document of one of America's greatest performers at the peak of his artistic powers. <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/james-brown">Brown's</a> singing is orgasmic - just listen to the opening squeal on I Go Crazy' - and the intensity never lets up. brown drives his crack band through breakneck versions of early hits before dragging them through the 11-minute bump-and-grind of Lost someone, the high point of a show that is nothing but high points. Decades later, this is still one of the greatest live albums of all-time. added are 4 mono single mixes, issued after the lps release, plus a nice booklet packed with new informtion, annotations, archival images and photos.
