About this product
Many albums are hyped as legendary; few deserve the accolade. Live At The Apollo is one of those rare albums that lives up to the hype. Released despite tag misgivings, Live At The Apollo cemented James Brown's 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&B album. Live At The Apollo is more than a pop phenomenon; it is a document of one of America's greatest performers at the peak of his artistic powers. Decades later, this is still one of the greatest live albums of all time. Now on limited edition red colour vinyl.

Vinyl pressing of Live at the Apollo by James Brown and the Famous Flames, recorded at the Apollo Theater in Harlem on the night of October 24, 1962 at Brown's own expense and released in 1963. Live at the Apollo was an amazingly rapid seller. It spent 66 weeks on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, peaking at #2. Many record stores, especially in the southeast U. S., found themselves unable to keep up with the demand for the product, eventually ordering several cases at a time. R&B disc jockeys often would play side 1 in it's entirety, pausing for commercials, only to return to play side 2 in full as well. The side break occurred in the middle of the long track InchLost SomeoneInch. in 2003, the album was ranked number 24 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
James Brown's soundtrack for the 1973 blaxploitation film Black Caesar is a masterclass in funk, blending gritty urban soul with sharp, explosive horn arrangements. This limited edition translucent red vinyl reissue captures the Godfather of Soul at his peak, delivering hard-hitting rhythms that define the cinematic sound of the 70s.

It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall.

Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including for Album of the Year.
