Description

 From the personal collection of noted James Brown archivist Alan Leeds.
This is a super super rare, one of a kind, demo acetate from a July, 1970, JAMES BROWN recording session at King Records in Cincinnati. 
This is the re-make of SEX MACHINE that was issued on Brown's SEX MACHINE album with fake audience reaction to make it appear as a live recording.
The acetate includes a never released brief false start and does NOT include the crowd noise that was on the album..
The "B" side contains a never released lengthy instrumental with Brown at the organ called "The Boss" - recorded at the same session.
Better yet, included are the original typed credits for the acetate on the color letterhead for James Brown Productions!
NOTE: Acetates are not intended for repeated play and may deteriorate with time. It is suggested that the tracks be played once and digitized for archival purposes.
