"Please Please Please," King 610 (M), 1958, 2" King Label, "Legs Cover," NRMT $2,000-$1,200. “VG vinyl has light scratches and are lightly audible; will play with very little surface noise, high fidelity, no distortion. Jacket has light ring wear and aging to back spine. The Cover presents very well. There is no writing or stickers. The spine is split on top and bottom. Wear and aging apparent, but Cover is very good + considering age. The back side liner notes are all readable with song titles at left. The back cover has damage to bottom covered with small portion of tape. Ink signature of previous owner near top right. BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THE Front COVER GRADES AS Very Good. Side One: “I Don’t Know” has a skip half way through the song. Last song side one: Tell me what I did wrong has defect on the very last word of the song and creates a skip. Side Two: “Love or a game.” Skip two-thirds thru the song. I have not tried to repair these defects. OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I FEEL THIS LP IS A GRADE OF VG. Standard Grading Scale: NEAR MINT or NM, M: this record appears virtually flawless. Minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs or a light hairline scratch that cannot be felt. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable; however the artwork is being as close to perfect as can be. VERY GOOD+: Minor scuffs are visible usually the result of a paper inner sleeve. There may be a light hairline scratch. VG+ COVER: Cover shows normal shelf and ring wear for a well-cared for record of its vintage. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade. VERY GOOD Record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. There may be a few scratches. VERY GOOD COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, and minor splits at opening of pocket or in the center of the bottom seam. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. GOOD: This is my lowest grade and is only reserved for very rare records that are still worth having at this grade. A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. There will be numerous scuffs and some deep scratches visible. A Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise and needle jumps. A good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits possibly taped repaired. All sales are final. No Refunds.

No Shipping outside USA. James Brown was a consummate showman whose private life was as explosive as his legendary performances, this iconic hit-maker forever changed the sound of music. Born into poverty in the '30s, as a youth Brown spent time in jail for stealing before finding his calling as an entertainer. In the '50s, he began honing his act with his friend and collaborator Bobby Byrd in the band The Flames, which soon became James Brown and the Famous Flames. In the '60s, the "Godfather of Soul" injected R&B with an infectious funky flare. His offbeat rhythms, catchy hooks, barking vocals and fancy footwork — including awe-inspiring twirls and splits — turned him into a stage star. His mainstream breakthrough came with the 1963 album Live at the Apollo, which captured his electrifying energy on vinyl and became the No. 2 album nationwide. He spent the sixties penning classics such as "I Got You (I Feel Good)," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "Get Up (I Feel Like A) Sex Machine" and the empowering civil rights anthem "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud." In the '70s, lively songs like “Hot Pants,” “Make It Funky,” Get on the Good Foot Pt. 1” and “The Payback Pt. 1” flooded dance floors. His music also filled movie theaters, and he provided original scores for soundtracks the films Black Caesar and Slaughter’s Big Rip-Off. In the late '70s, changing musical tastes, as well as Brown's increasingly tumultuous personal life, stalled his career. In the '80s, his career picked up again with memorable appearances in the films The Blues Brothers and Rocky IV, which also featured his smash hit “Living in America.” In 1986, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but two years later his personal troubles caught up with him and he found himself in prison. Though sentenced to six years, he was paroled in 1991. In his later life, Brown at times seemed like a parody of himself. Not only did he make exuberant public appearances (he was a favorite on Howard Stern's radio show), he also constantly popped up in the tabloids due to incidents of spousal and drug abuse. Even his death (which was shocking since he seemed to possess limitless energy) was tainted by scandal: After he passed away from congestive heart failure on Christmas Day 2006, his supposed fourth wife and mother of his youngest child, Tomi Rae Hynie, was locked out of their home when it was determined that they had never been legally married. Despite the scandals, whenever Brown leapt behind a microphone — which, being the self-declared "hardest-working man in show business," was quite often — the outrageous stories melted away, and he became an incomparable force of entertainment. His undeniable talent earned him countless devoted fans, not to mention myriad awards and accolades, including Kennedy Center Honors, two performing Grammys in addition to a lifetime achievement award, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
