Super-raers?

Rumors:
1) James Brown claims that he pressed up Please Please Please and distributed it himself to radio stations in hopes of landing a record deal. (Or maybe Ralph Bass pressed them to get King to sign JB.) Have any of these ever turned up? 1956 James Brown Private Press?
2) Dealers with quantity of mega rarities can not be trusted to give accurate accounting of how many they have or how many they sold. Some want to be ballers may inflate their finds. Others may understate the #s so as not to decrease perceived value.
PS: Spell check says ballers is not a word. Shows what level Bill Gates is playing at.

hahahaha.... lol
this record is nuts, i haven't listened to it in years but it got a lot of play back when i dug it up.
both sides sound entirely different. i think one may be a ballad, but i always listened to the other. INSANE superfast wah-wah thing with dude yelling about 'black beauty, white beauty, yella beauty... waaaaah!' thats really too frenetic to be labeled funk even though its funky and barely even a song.fantastic stuff, i'll try to digitize at some point.
i'd be surprised if the band pressed 8000 of them.
might be one of those sweaty palm phone questions: "So how many did ya press?"
Response: "Oh let's see, hmmm... i'd say at least 8000."
they needed to hire a graphic designer with a pressing of 8000. seriously.
i remember hearing this maybe five years ago in ann arbor at a certain collector's home. really cool document, musically left a bit to be desired. one or two tracker.... but i'd be pretty stoked to see one.
and no i never have.
Anyone have knowledge of a 45 by The Brothers Unique on the Spectrum Sound label? It's a fantastic soul group 45, probably from about 1970. The labels on my copy are basically washed off so finding clues as to group members or geographical location isn't happening. "Gone Are The Days Of Slaves" is one song, the other side I can't make out the title. "Bell Sound" is stamped in the deadwax. I've had this for a couple years and haven't been able to find out anything else.
Yeah it looks that way; artists over guessing their print run. One of the ones that stuck in my mind was Cleveland Robinson saying he sold "9000 copies in 12 days" of his 'Love is A Trap' 45 on Nosinbor. I've seen that 45 maybe 2 or 3 times only.aleit you are so right.
in all matters of "how many records?" it makes sense to at least discard one zero.
"I have 10,000 records" blah blah
Anybody out there know anything about "dance of the sophisticated cissy/sissy"
