KING & QUEEN / OTIS REDDING & CARLA THOMAS / Stax S-716 Stereo / Funk Blues Soul

From 1967, offered is  King & Queen / Otis Redding / Carla Thomas  on Staxx Records label S716.

THE VINYL:

SIDE 1:  EX :  There is some light scratches & some light scuffs

SIDE 2:  VG+ :  Light scratching / scuffs are more evident

THE COVER:  EX+ :  Well- preserved. There is some faint ringwear on the front cover; the seams are all intact; no paper loss, writing or staining. I've placed the disc in a plastic-coated inner sleeve to better protect its condition.

Wikipedia recounts this information about the recording session for King & Queen:

"Producer Jim Stewart had the idea to produce a duet album with Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, as he thought it would help their musical careers' progress, and that "[Redding's] rawness and [Thomas's] sophistication would work" well together. Another reason to combine the two artists was in the hopes of achieving a success similar to that which Motown singer Marvin Gaye had with both Tammi Terrell and Kim Weston. Carla Thomas was already successful in the R&B business; she had already had many singles appear in both the Hot 100 and Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles charts, most recently her 1966 song "B-A-B-Y". Redding agreed to record with Thomas, simply stating, "Well, hey, you from Memphis, you from Tennessee, you can hang". At the time the album was recorded in January 1967, Thomas was studying at Howard University in Washington D.C. for an M.A. in English. Recorded in about six days (another source states only three days), the album features eleven songs: ten covers of soul classics, and an eleventh song, "Ooh Carla, Ooh Otis", that Redding co-wrote with Al Bell.It features house band Booker T. & the M.G.'s, pianist Isaac Hayes, and the brass section The Memphis Horns. Six out of eleven songs were cut during their session; the rest were overdubbed by Redding in the following days owing to their concert obligations."
