• Lyhyt kuvaus CD (Digipak) with 36 page booklet, 30 tracks. Total playing time approx. 75 min James Brown as You’ve Never Heard Him Before This high-energy compilation showcases the early Federal and King years of the man who would later become the Godfather of Soul—a period deeply rooted in the rock & roll and rhythm & blues of the 1950s and early 1960s. Long before global hits like I Got You (I Feel Good) or Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag made him a household name, the young James Brown delivered a series of explosive recordings that perfectly fit the rebellious, groundbreaking musical landscape of the era. Here, James Brown appears as an untamed performer: an artist forging his own path between gospel, rhythm & blues, and the emerging sound of rock & roll—powerful, wild, and electrifying. Tracks such as Please, Please, Please, I Feel That Old Feeling Coming On, and Chonnie-On-Chon reflect the raw intensity with which Brown conquered the stages of the American South while developing the unmistakable style that would later redefine soul and funk. The release is accompanied by deeply researched liner notes by Bill Dahl, providing background stories, key encounters, studio insights, and musical context within the rock & roll and R&B world of the 50s and 60s. For fans, collectors, and lovers of authentic music history, this edition is essential. The definitive collection of James Brown’s early Federal and King years—shaped strongly by 1950s and early 1960s rock & roll and rhythm & blues. Powerful, unpolished recordings documenting Brown’s journey from an R&B fireball to a pioneering architect of soul and funk. Extensive, thoroughly researched liner notes by Bill Dahl. Authentic performances from the young James Brown—raw, energetic, and full of musical innovation. Essential for fans of rock & roll, R&B, soul, and funk—a significant document of American music history.
