·       JAMES BROWN – JAMES BROWN SINGS OUT OF SIGHT – ULTRA-RARE WITHDRAWN 1964 SMASH RECORDS MONO LP MGS-27058; BY FAR THE RAREST JAMES BROWN ALBUM EVER RELEASED ON SMASH LABEL, AND ONE OF HIS RAREST, OVERALL

·       ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING

·       ORIGINAL RED SMASH LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT

·       DEEP GROOVE PRESSING

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       MONSTROUSLY RARE ORIGINAL, FIRST, WITHDRAWN (SINGLE-POCKET) VERSION OF THE COVER, SHOWING MULTIPLE PHOTOS OF JAMES BROWN ON BEIGE (OFF-WHITE) BACKGROUND; THIS IS NOT A MORE COMMON VERSION REISSUED FOUR YEARS LATER, SHOWING A BLACK/BLUE COLOR PHOTO OF JAMES BROWN IN CONCERT.

·       THIS IS ORIGINAL 1964 MONO-ONLY PRESSING, WITHDRAWN DUE TO CONTRACTUAL DISPUTE BETWEEN KING RECORDS AND JAMES BROWN AND ULTIMATELY RE-RELEASED IN STEREO IN 1968 UNDER A DIFFERENT CATALOG NUMBER; THE TWO VERSIONS HAD DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT COVERS; THE BIDDERS SHOULD NOTE THAT SMASH LABEL DID, IN FACT, ASSIGN A STEREO NUMBER TO THE ALBUM (SEE THE BACK PANEL) BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE EVER BEEN RELEASED, AT LEAST NOT UNTIL 1968 WHEN IT WAS ISSUED IN DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT COVER

·       ORIGINAL, THICK CARDBOARD COVER (AMERICAN STYLE)

·       ORIGINAL GLOSSY, LIGHTLY LAMINATED COVER

·       COVER IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK (CELLOPHANE) WRAP

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

·       MATRIX NUMBER IN TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) ENDS WITH "-1/-1".  ON SOME LABELS, THIS  INDICATES THE VERY FIRST, ORIGINAL PRESSING

·       MACHINE-STAMPED MATRIX NUMBER IN TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) OF THE RECORD

·       MONO version of this album has NEVER been available on legitimate Compact Disc or in any other digital format.

Brown actually recorded this album in 1964, during his brief alliance with Smash; a court injunction from King Records prevented its release at the time, and it wasn't issued until four years later. Despite the presence of the groundbreaking title track, it's not as funky a set as one might expect. Most of the numbers are surprisingly conservative reworkings of pop standards and R&B oldies, with decidedly non-funky arrangements (by Sammy Lowe) that often employ strings and large bands. High points are "Maybe the Last Time," a gospel-ish R&B throwback, and an interesting, jazzy take on "I Got You" that predates the much more celebrated 1965 hit version.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

(d)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
