Nice copy of the original 1967 first pressing of Otis Redding and Carla Thomas’ King & Queen LP on Stax S716. Original yellow labels with nice thick vinyl, and the Tramp hype sticker on the cover. The disc has some scuffs and light marks but they are mostly entirely superficial. I had it ultrasonically cleaned and it really made it sound incredible. Sounds way way better than it looks. Visually it is about VG but it plays about EX, with only occasional very light crackle between songs, or in some especially quiet parts, but barely even that. There is a stray click or two here and there but barely even that. Really it plays gorgeously. The cover has faint ringwear and some minor edge and corner wear but barely. Really a crisp and clean cover overall. This is a lovely original copy that sounds great, despite its visual grade.
