burrowed more deeply into a song than Otis Redding — hands
down, the most emotive, soulful singer the '60s ever produced. With
the Stax/Volt horn section wailing in his wake, Redding's grainy
voice and impassioned, sweat-soaked delivery kept him straddling
both pop and soul charts until his untimely death in 1967. Here
are High-Definition Vinyl exact reproductions of six of Redding's essential
LPs: 1965's Otis Blue; The Soul Album; Complete And
Unbelievable...The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul from 1966;
King & Queen, a 1967 duet album with Carla Thomas,
and the storming live sets In Person At The Whisky A Go Go
(1968) and Live In Europe (1967). Everything is taken from
the absolute master tapes with Otis Blue, Dictionary
of Soul, and The Soul Album in the original mono and
King & Queen, In Person At The Whisky A Go Go
and Live In Europe in knockout stereo. All six are Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fabulous! |
