James Brown Excitement Mr. Dynamite [LP]

This quintessential collector's edition includes James Brown's 1962 album Excitement Mr. Dynamite. The LP is a singles compilation released by King Records that features early recordings with the Famous Flames dating back to 1958. This masterpiece helped define the primal nature of soul and offers a solid introduction into this man's special brand of musical feeling, his own passionate style, intense delivery and R&B innovation. Long out of print, this essential LP has been remastered in this very special edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period. These recordings provide the listener with the opportunity to peek in on the still-growing Brown and hear him paying homage to his early influences. The foot-tapping rhythms, spine-tingling stylings and sentimental mood renderings so typical of his early performances can all be heard here. Without a doubt this is the material upon which James Brown's kingdom was built.
