Sweet Soul Music/ Let's Go Steady

This is a beautiful copy of one of the most enduring soul hits of the late 1960s, cowritten and produced by Otis Redding for Conley, one of his proteges. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. This copy's label looks new except for the "51" someone inked on the A side (see scan), which to my eye is relatively unobtrusive. That's why in this case I rate the label as highly as near-mint (M-) with a parenthetical explanation that the label has "small writing on it" (sw), rather than EX or EX+. To me, this copy's vinyl looks new, and the audio is also brilliant, though not pristine mint.
