These two vinyl LPs cover the years 1966-1969, arguably the heyday of Atlantic’s R&B and soul years.

Note: I haven't cleaned these 39-year-old records because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. They come from my own collection. Bought at The Record Exchange in Roanoke VA.
