King KS 1079, 1969.

ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS ~ AND IT'S NM!!!

Fabulous RARE funk ~ LIVE with James Brown and backed by the J.B.'s!!

"Although she's not a household name, Marva Whitney is fondly remembered by funk devotees as one of the rawest, brassiest, most powerful divas the music ever produced. Whitney made her name singing with the James Brown Revue for a few years, and her limited, much-sampled recordings for Brown-associated labels now fetch astronomical sums on the collector's market. ...she signed on with the James Brown Revue as a featured female vocalist and accompanied Brown on his late-'60s tour of Vietnam, and made other international appearances with him as well. In 1969, Whitney made her first solo recordings for King, Brown's label at the time. She scored a Top 20 hit on the R&B charts with "It's My Thing (You Can't Tell Me Who to Sock It To)," a rewrite of the Isley Brothers hit; the follow-up, "Things Got to Get Better (Get Together)," just missed the R&B Top 20. Far too gutsy and funky to cross over to the pop charts, Whitney remained with the Revue until 1970, without scoring any more significant hits on her own. Still, cuts like ... the duet "You Got to Have a Job (If You Don't Work)" helped cement her reputation among record collectors. Her Live and Lowdown at the Apollo LP commands hefty price tags!" AMG

"Live At THe Apollo" just about says it all!

AND NOW THE PART THAT YOU SHOULD READ (even though you usually skim to the bottom and miss it, which is why you ask me all of the questions that you would already know the answer to if you hadn't of scrolled down past this!):
#1. I make every attempt to describe each & every item as thoroughly and as accurately as possible but, I am human which means that once in a great while I may actually miss something (but it won't be big!!!).
#2. ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!!
#3. All records are visually graded under a bright halogen light and sound checked as well!
________________________________________________________________________
GRADING:
MINT = still sealed
NM+ = perfect, flawless, just isn't sealed
NM = one or two inconsequential little marks that in no way effect the play
NM- = just a whisp below NM (probably three of the slightest marks)
VG+ = few slight marks visible under bright light but still plays NM clean
VG = you can hear a couple of pops or crackles but it still plays without any skips -- I RARELY ever will post anything in VG condition unless it is soooo rare that it's just got to heard!
Anything below a VG I would never sell or keep and you should NEVER buy = throw them out!!!!
________________________________________________________________________

#4.. All opened record albums are packed with the record removed from the cover to prevent splitting of the cover during shipment and are given extra corner protection as well.
#5. All sales are final! I do NOT accept returns so, don't plan on trying a record switch! And I will not be a party to extortion (yes, they have tried this too!).
#6.Winning bidder MUST email me within 3 days of end of auction and sale MUST be completed within 15 days unless PRIOR (prior to your win!) arrangements are made.
#7. Do not leave me negative or neutral feedback because you did not read the rules & regs!!!

Geez, I used to see ads that included huge explanations here on ebay and think "Wow, what's that all about?" Now, I have an ad with a huge explanation at the end. Well, time & experience...there are some wiggy people out there in cyberland and it only takes one of them to ruin a good week! Amazingly, the inclusion of this section in 2002 has had remarkable results.....*****UPDATE!!! NO ONE (ESPECIALLY ANYONE THAT REALLY NEEDS TO) IS READING THE RULES & REGS. AND THEN THEY'RE COMING BACK AT ME (trying to switch albums on me, complaining because they didn't pay for double packing when they needed it, whining because they didn't get a NM record when the album was CLEARLY described as NM- / VG+,, crying that there is cat hair on the record (yes, really - this has happened -- so what kind of life do these people have???) when all they need to do is wipe it off, etc...). AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! SOOoooooooo....NOW WHAT? WELLLL...I WAS FEELIN' PRETTY BUMMED BY THE RECENT ONSLAUGHT OF ATTACKERS BUT I THINK I'M OVER IT NOW & MOST OF MY BIDDERS ARE STILL HAPPY SO, I'LL JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON FOR THEM EVEN THOUGH MY FEEDBACK RATING IS TOTALLY SHOT (hmmm...they warned of this in kindergarten! Once you no longer have 100% you can NEVER have 100% again -- that's it -- it goes down "on your permanent record"!).

"Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans....

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy." --Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.
</<BR></<BR>** An added note for the season: If the sky gets real dark and everything goes silent - seek shelter preferably in a cellar. If hurricanes keep hitting your house -- please, just MOVE! If the sea becomes still and the water is sucked out rapidly -- do not stand and watch -- RUN TO HIGH GROUND! If the birds are flying away from where you are and all of the animals are running away too -- Follow them now & figure out why later!
