Description
ARTIST(S)/GROUP: James Brown
TITLE: Pure Dynamite! Recorded on the Spot, The Dynamic James Brown on Stage at the Famous Royal Theater, Baltimore, Maryland
LABEL/NUMBER: King 883, original pressing
FORMAT: LP Record/Vinyl/STEREO
CONDITION: Vinyl VG++, Cover NM in original shrinkwrap. Amazingly clean copy of a great vintage title. See my other auctions for other jaw-dropping pieces from the Godfather of Soul.
Record is from the amazing personal collection of well-known San Francisco DJ Abe “Voco Kesh” Keshishian. Voco was an avid collector of blues, jazz, r/b and rock records who maintained his vinyl meticulously and accumulated early edition pieces. Check my other auctions for more from Kesh's collection.
Known for his KSAN radio show, “Lights Out San Francisco,” Voco was instrumental in the careers of artists like Blue Cheer and Harvey Mandel. He died of a heart attack in 1989 and his records were well-kept in storage until a recent auction.
Says Allmusic:
It has only eight songs, it's less than half an hour long, and two of the songs are studio tracks with overdubbed audience noise. It's not nearly as well-known as his live '60s albums recorded at the Apollo, but Pure Dynamite!, recorded live at Baltimore's Royal Theater in 1963, is nearly as good. This is decidedly more raucous than his 1962 Live at the Apollo, with the balance leaning toward up-tempo ravers like "Shout and Shimmy," "Signed, Sealed, and Delivered," and the set-closing "Good Good Lovin'," all of which are positively kinetic. To break up the pace, there are some R&B torch ballads, including the song without which no James Brown show was complete, "Please, Please, Please."
