Extremely rare 1964 James Brown Grits & Soul Master Tape.

Tracks: "Infatuation," "Tempted," and "Mr. Hip."

Grits & Soul was released in 1964 by Smash Records. It is an instrumental record featuring "The James Brown Band."

This master reel was recorded at Radio Recorders. During the 1940s and 50s, Radio Recorders, which was located in Hollywood, CA, was responsible for recording countless radio shows, both network and local. As the years progressed, major labels used Radio Recorders, well into the 1960s. Columbia, RCA Victor, Capitol, and Decca all utilized their studios and recording capabilities, and Radio Recorders was also the choice of many independent labels and both popular and classical artists - everyone from Stravinsky to Elvis.

The consigner of this collection acquired this unique master tape directly from the Greenfield family. Jerome Greenfield was the General Manager of Radio Recorders at the time of the recording. After his death, in the process of clearing out his estate, his son found a number of unmarked boxes containing master reels from over 40 years ago. These were among them.
