JAMES BROWN LP TRY ME US MONO PRESS 1959 KING 635 VG+ VINYL INSANELY RARE

Description: JAMES BROWN - TRY ME, CAT# KING 635. A US MONO DEEP GROOVE PRESSING FROM 1960. THIS IS THE CROWNLESS KING LABEL WITH THE 3" KING LOGO ON THE LABELS. THIS IS A MONSTEROUSLY RARE LP, AND AN UNBELIEVABLE EARLY SOUL LP THAT HELPED GIVE JB THE MONIKER THE GODFATHER OF SOUL. BUT BESIDES FOR THE AMAZING MUSIC, THIS LP IS NOTORIOUS FOR IT'S SMOKING GUN COVER. WITH THE TITLE TRY ME!, A VERY SKINNY, CONFIDENT, AND SEXY BLACK LADY STANDS HOLDING A SMOKING GUN POINTED DOWN WHILE SMOKING A CIGARETTE IN THE OTHER HAND. BY THE NEXT PRESSING OF THIS THE COVER WAS CHANGED. IT WAS BROWN'S SECOND LP, AND TRY ME WAS HIS SECOND HIT. HOWEVER, MUCH OF THIS LP IS MADE UP OF PREVIOUSLY RELEASED B SIDES PACKAGED IN TO A LONG PLAY. HE'S IN HIS SOUL MODE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE BEGINNINGS OF HIS MOVE TOWARDS THAT GRITTY R&B/SOUL DYNAMO THAT HE WOULD BECOME. THIS COPY IS AMAZING. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. THE COVER IS SHARP WITH GREAT COLORS. IT HAS SCOTCH TAPE NEATLY ACROSS THE TOP SEAM, AND ABOUT HALF OF THE BOTTOM SEAM. THE 2 BOTTOM CORNERS HAVE SMALL DINGS. THE SPINE IS PERFECT. THE BACK COVER HAS SLIGHT TONING. THERE'S 1 LIGHT SPINDLE MARK ON SIDE 2, SIDE ONE IS PERFECT. THE RECORD HAS GREAT GLOSS. UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THERE'S LIGHT RASHES FROM THE INNER, BUT THAT'S SUPERFICIAL, NOT EFFECTING PLAY. IT PLAYS VG+ WITH SOME LIGHT STATIC SOUNDING OCCASIONAL TICS THAT ARE WAY BELOW THE MUSIC VOLUME. ONE OF THE FEW SURVIVOR OG COPIES THAT'S STILL WORTH PLAYING.
