Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Hank Ballard is One of the Best-loved of the King/Federal Artists and this is Where He Started Out with the Royals (Who Soon Became the Midnighters). These Are the Complete Recordings by the Royals. The Group Had Its First Chart Success with 'get It' at #6 R&B in 1953, Followed by the Controversial 'work with Me Annie', an R&B Chart Topper in 1954. The Earlier Recordings Are Classy Doo Wop, Notably the Original Version of the Later Gladys Knight Hit, 'every Beat of My Heart' (Here Without the Usual Overdubbed Rhythm Section). Also Included as Bonus Tracks Are Previously Unissued Takes of 'the Shrine of St. Cecilia' and 'work with Me Annie'.

5 out of 5 stars THIS COLLECTION IS ALREADY A LEGEND.......2007-04-29

My basic interest is in 60s rock and british invasion. I do like to hear their influences of course. This awesome collection is a must for any fan of Muddy, Wolf, Otis Rush, Robert Johnson, Little Walter, although the music is more in the doo wop style than blues. The amazing thing about James Brown is that he wrote all these songs. This collection properly captures what a mega-giant he was. If Zep and Clapton fans lionize Muddy and Johnson, Zappa fans need to look to James Brown.

4 out of 5 stars the true Roots of a Revolution..........2007-02-21

Well, if you're reading this review it's already too late to take advantage of this great lil package. Limited to 5000 copies this gem has all but disappeared from the shelves of Amazon. I wish they would do the entire James Brown catalog just like this one, chronologically.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Remastered package.......2007-01-21

This 2-CD set collects James Browns' singles for the Federal Label. I am not a fan of 1950s rock, but I do like 60s & 70s r&b, particularly any artist that can really get down or belt out a tune like no one else (Ike & Tina or James Brown). This collection presents both the a & b side of his singles (almost all of them mono) up to 1960. It also includes a booklet detailing the info on each single. The remastering (from the original source tapes) sounds as good as mono from this period can (with only the demo exhibiting sub-par sound quality). This would make a nice addendum to your James Brown collection, though I wouldn't begin with this unless you're a big 50s fan. However, the CD is supposedly limited to 5,000 copies, so if you think you might want it, you should probably snatch it up quickly.
