#2 - Sex Machine

Title of this Album s/b changed to just 'Sex Machine'. #19 is the Album 'Sex Machine: The Very Best Of James Brown'.

Data fixed, thanks

(3) Double & (1) Triple Listing

#7 & #31 are the same (Live At the Apollo, Volume II). Also #59 & #82 (James Brown Soul Classics). Also #46 & #75 (James Brown...Live/Hot On the One). And finally #2 & #50 & #52 are all the same. Title should just be "Sex Machine'. The(2) 1991 Chart Entries should be removed from this 1970 Album and set up as a separate 1991 "Very Best Of' album. (#52 mistakenly reads "Soft Machine' rather than 'Sex Machine').

Data fixed, thanks

Double Listing - Pure Dynamite

#4 & #12 are the same.
