The Brothers Four Store

(1992) Bob Flick found a treasure in a hidden cave (just kidding) - the last of a special Limited Edition: A live concert recording that has never been marketed or released anywhere else, other than a limited private distribution in Japan.

The recording represents their appearance at the inaugural gathering of the Japan- America Society*. The Brothers Four were invited to participate and present a concert at the first-ever Summit in Kyoto, 1991; the concert featured a guest-performance on a couple of songs by a children's choir via live satellite hook-up from their Seattle stage.

"The CD is titled after the theme song we wrote for the event, In The Name of Brotherhood, a salute to the tale of one of the very first ever citizens of Japan to have seen America as a young man. A young man who was stranded at sea, rescued by an American whaling ship and taken to Boston where he came of age. He then returned to his native land with news and drawings and tales of America. Actually a really cool saga." -- BF

*The Japan-America Grassroots Summit is an annual large-scale meeting of Japanese and American citizens, held alternately in Japan and America. The summit aims to strengthen the peaceful relationship between Japan and America by fostering grassroots friendships. The first Summit was held in 1991 in Tokyo & Kyoto, Japan.

(1966 Columbia) The classic Christmas album, released on LP in 1966. 12 tracks with one 3-song medley.

The song, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" peaked at #26 on The Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1966.

Deemed by Brothers Four leader Bob Flick himself as one of his favorite recordings released by the long-lived folk group, 1966’s “Merry Christmas” brought together a truly extraordinary collection of talent. Besides the Brothers themselves, one of the top groups of the folk era, the album featured vocal arrangements by the legendary Milt Okun, who had worked with such giants as Harry Belafonte, Miriam Makeba and Peter, Paul and Mary. Orchestrations were provided by Peter Matz, fresh from his award-winning work with Barbra Streisand, and behind the board at Columbia Records hallowed 30th Street Studio was legendary engineer Frank Laico. And weaving it all together was the great producer Teo Macero, best known for his work with Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck and Tony Bennett! Little wonder, then, that “Merry Christmas” is acknowledged as a pop-folk classic.

These records are new and sealed! Bob Flick recently found them in storage when he was reorganizing his stock. The quantity is very limited. This is a real collector's item. If you are a collector of old vinyl records, or simply enjoy the better sound of analog recordings, you will want this record in your collection.

Note that we also have both the recent reissue CD "Expanded Edition" and the Sony CD from 1997 available in the CD section above.
