Per Wikipedia, Knock on Wood is the debut album of  singer/songwriter , released in 1967 on .  The album was recorded between July and December 1966 at Stax Recording Studio, Memphis, TN. It features his most well-known single, the title track, "".  The recording up for bid is a "one owner" (me) and is a 1967 monaural recording by Stax Records and was manufactured at Columbia Records Terre Haute pressing facility.  This album consists of 12 tracks with a run time of 34+ minutes.
The cover is in VG+ condition.  There is only mild wear along the edges and corners.  There are no split seams, bent corners, tears or markings.  The back cover shows mild signs of disc wear, but no other defects.  The front cover retains its gloss and the colors are still vivid (see photos).
The paper inner sleeve is original and intact.  However, it is generic in nature.
The recording has been cleaned and tested with Audacity.  All tracks were played through and all tracks are free from skips.  There is very little background noise which consists of an occasional "click" that is random in nature and does not impact or interfere with the music.  The sound is very clear and crisp.  The record surfaces show signs of disk wear.  There are no detectable scratches or scuffs to the touch.  The record surfaces still retain their gloss and the labels are clean and intact.  This recording was my introduction to the "Memphis" sound that only Stax records could produce.  Overall, this is a VG+ recording that even the "audiophile" collector will appreciate.
I always clean, listen and test every record I list on EBAY. I do this in insure that I can give as accurate a description for each album I list. I also try to follow the Goldmine standards on grading records. I do this as a service to the buyer, as well as, to maintain my own reputation.
