Please Please Please is the debut studio album by the Famous Flames under the billing "James Brown and His Famous Flames", featuring the first album of recordings during Brown's long career. It was released in December 1958 by King Records and includes the group's first two hit singles, the title track and "Try Me" (R&B No. 1, Pop No. 48), along with all the non-charting singles and B-sides they had recorded up to that time. The album was reissued in 2003 by Polydor on a Japanese 24-bit remastered import CD packaged in a miniature LP sleeve.
