"Give It Up or Turnit a Loose" had a looser feel than some of James Brown's other recordings. You can almost hear "the Godfather" directing the band at his own whim. Recorded in fall 1968 at Criteria Studios in Miami (later a recording base for the Bee Gees during their Saturday Night Fever days), the rhythm section was drummer Nate Jones, bassist Charles Sherrell, and guitarists Jimmy Nolan and "Country" Kellum. Basically a jam session, the track's influence can be heard on numerous recordings including Evelyn Champagne King's million-selling "Shame" (listen to Instant Funk's Kim Miller's telegraph-like guitar lines). One of the singer's distinctive screams was edited onto the beginning of the track for an exciting hook. Written by Brown's manager Charles Bobbitt, "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose" held the top R&B spot for two weeks and hit number 15 pop in spring 1969. An alternative version of the tune can be found on his Sex Machine LP. Some of the same licks were used in Brown's "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine."

PLEASE NOTE: THIS ACETATE APPARENTLY NEVER HAD A CUSTOM COVER;  THE ALBUM WILL BE SHIPPED IN A PLAIN, GENERIC [WHITE] CARDBOARD COVER. ACETATES AND REFERENCE PRESSINGS ARE RARELY – IF EVER – FOUND IN CUSTOM (STOCK) COVERS.

While this acetate is in a BEAUTIFUL state of preservation, we do expect bidders to understand that the aluminum-based, shellac-coated acetates can never be graded by using the exact, same stringent standards used by collectors for modern long-play, hi-fi LPs or singles. The buyer – if not familiar with acetate (reference) recordings - should be cautioned that these discs were intended for brief, limited use only; they were meant to be played only a few times, then discarded or destroyed. In view of this, the surface layer of the disc is manufactured in such a manner that it will wear off pretty quickly, even under normal conditions -- and specially if not handled with due care. Each subsequent playing increases wear and tear of the disc’s surface layer and diminishes the disc’s playability. This disc appears to have been unplayed recently and the grooves are still well-formed and fully visible.

This acetate is in about EXCELLENT (EXC) condition, with some minor, superficial scuffs. Absolutely NO part of the shellac (surface layer) of the disc is  missing, and the surface layer is NOT dented, chipped, broken or otherwise compromised.

ON A SCALE FROM 1-10 (where 10 is the best), WE GRADE RECORD AS 8.5

·       COVER : This acetate comes without any custom jacket, and will be shipped in a plain, generic, white cardboard cover.
