Otis Redding

Otis Redding was an influential American soul singer, songwriter, producer, and arranger, born on September 9, 1941, in Dawson, Georgia, USA. His life was tragically cut short when he died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, on December 10, 1967. Redding was married to Zelma Redding from 1961 until his untimely death and was the father of four children: Otis III, Dexter, Demetria, and Karla. He was also a cousin of Mark Lockett.

As a seminal artist in the realms of Soul and R&B, Redding became a pivotal figure in 1960s American popular music. In 1965, he co-founded the publishing entity . Among his many compositions, he is perhaps best known for the iconic hits “[i]Respect[/i]” and “[i](Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay[/i].” His contributions to music were recognized posthumously when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 as a Performer and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994.

SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED/Mint:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

 

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

 

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.

 
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

 

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.


G (Good):

Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.


F (Fair):

Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip

Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album
