James Brown – Please Please Please

James Brown – Please Please Please (1958)

The debut album from the Godfather of Soul.

This is the explosion that announced the arrival of the Hardest Working Man in Show Business. Please Please Please represents the transition of gospel intensity into the secular world of R&B and soul. The title track is a raw, pleading ballad that set the template for soul music performance. It matters because it laid the groundwork for everything James Brown would later achieve in funk. This limited solid red vinyl edition captures the fire and urgency of the original King Records sessions. The analog sound brings out the throat-shredding emotion of Brown's vocals and the doo-wop influence of the Famous Flames. It is a primal, exciting document of a legend in the making.

• High-fidelity audiophile pressing
