Otis Redding's Fourth Album Delivers A Dozen Towering Performances On Material Fully Worthy Of His Talents, Ranging From Originals Like "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)" To Covers Of The Beatles' "Day Tripper" And The Country Standard "Tennessee Waltz," With The Classics "My Lover's Prayer" And "Try A Little Tenderness" Sandwiched In There. What Separates This Album From Its Immediate Predecessor Is The Intensity Of His Performance And The Range Of Repertory - Most Of The Highlights Have Been Anthologized Many Times Over, But This Album Is Still Worth Hearing All In One, Capturing The Moment When The Singer Was Approaching His Peak. He Was Only To Complete One More Solo Studio Album (Otis Blue) Before His Untimely Death, And This And It Are Indispensable Additions To Any Serious Soul Collection.

Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul
New - LP - R1 547282
Sealed RSD 2015 LE 2LP 180gm, Mono/Stereo Mix With 7" 45rpm Blue Vinyl.
The1965 4th album was produced by Steve Cropper and features covers of popular R&B songs of the time, as well as original compositions by Redding.

The album also features a cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," which became an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Reaching number 6 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 1 on the R&B chart.

Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul
Audiophile - LP - AAPP 092-45
2015 2LP 200gm 45rpm Test Pressing. Both LPs Appear New, Unplayed. “Otis Redding's Third Album, And His First Fully Realized Album, Presents His Talent Unfettered, His Direction Clear, And His Confidence Emboldened, With Fully Half The Songs Representing A Reach That Extended His Musical Grasp. More Than A Quarter Of This Album Is Given Over To Redding's Versions Of Songs By Sam Cooke, His Idol, Who Had Died The Previous December, And All Three Are Worth Owning And Hearing. Two Of Them, "A Change Is Gonna Come" And "Shake," Are Every Bit As Essential As Any Soul Recordings Ever Made, And While They (And Much Of This Album) Have Reappeared On Several Anthologies, It's Useful To Hear The Songs From Those Sessions Juxtaposed With Each Other, And With "Wonderful World," Which Is Seldom Compiled Elsewhere. Also Featured Are Redding's Spellbinding Renditions Of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (A Song Epitomizing The Fully Formed Stax/Volt Sound And Which Mick Jagger And Keith Richards Originally Wrote In Tribute To And Imitation Of Redding's Style), "My Girl," And "You Don't Miss Your Water." "Respect" And "I've Been Loving You Too Long," Two Originals That Were To Loom Large In His Career, Are Here As Well; The Former Became Vastly Popular In The Hands Of Aretha Franklin And The Latter Was An Instant Soul Classic. Among The Seldom-Cited Jewels Here Is A Rendition Of B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby" That Has The Singer Sharing The Spotlight With Steve Cropper, His Playing Alternately Elegant And Fiery, With Wayne Jackson And Gene "Bowlegs" Miller's Trumpets And Andrew Love's And Floyd Newman's Saxes Providing The Backing. Redding's Powerful, Remarkable Singing Throughout Makes Otis Blue Gritty, Rich, And Achingly Alive, And An Essential Listening Experience.” Bruce Eder, AMG.

Otis Redding Live In Europe
Used Import - 40 073
1972 French reissue with the "Enregistrement En Public" sticker on the jacket. Glossy, NM- vinyl. VG++ jacket. "Live in Europe was the first full-length concert album released on Otis Redding, and the last LP of his work that he lived to see issued. Recorded along the Stax/Volt tour of Europe in March of 1967, it featured Redding backed by Booker T. & the MG's. Their playing, along with that of Wayne Jackson (trumpet) and Andrew Love and Joe Arnold (tenor saxes), is more elegant and elegantly articulated than the work of his usual touring band, and this album is a sort of idealized Otis Redding concert. Some of it lacks the raw excitement of Live at the Whisky a Go Go (which was recorded a year earlier than the shows where this album was cut, but not issued until a year later), but in compensation one gets all of the virtuoso flourishes and details that one would expect from this ensemble. The audience, ecstatic at the rare chance to see the soul idol in concert, is very vocal in their enthusiasm for the singer and his songs, and "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)" is practically a singalong number with some finely detailed playing from Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, and Al Jackson, Jr., who, with Wayne Jackson and company, also add some exquisite grace notes to the finale, "Try a Little Tenderness." Beyond the musical power of his performance, Redding's emotions are practically overflowing as he addresses the crowd in a very personal manner as he introduces "These Arms of Mine." The only flaw in this recording, if there is one, is that it does have only ten songs, but that was the nature of the shows on this tour." All Music Guide - Bruce Eder

The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads
Colored Vinyl - New - RCV1 91706
Sealed 2023 Reissue Pressed On Translucent Blue Vinyl; Part Of Rhino Records' "Start Your Ear Off Right" Annual Campaign. The 1965 Classic From The King Of Soul. "The Aptly Named Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads (1965) Builds Upon The Strength And Relative Success Of The Vocalist's Solo Debut Long-Player, Pain In My Heart (1964). The Format -- Blending A Few Originals With Well-Chosen Covers -- Remained Consistent. However, Increasingly Evident Is The Strength Of Redding's Interaction With Booker T. Jones (Organ), Steve Cropper (Guitar/Piano), Donald "Duck" Dunn (Bass), And Al Jackson, Jr. (Drums), Aka Booker T. & The MG's. That Relationship Is Sonically Solidified With The Singer's Seemingly Innate Ability To Sculpt His Leads Around The Powerful Memphis Horn Section Of Wayne Jackson (Trumpet), Charles "Packy" Axton (Tenor Sax), And Floyd Newman (Baritone Sax). The Results Clearly Speak For Themselves With Each Of The Album's Dozen Selections As All The Proof One Needs. Redding's Testifyin' On The Opener, "That's How Strong My Love Is," Was Powerful Enough To Garner The Attention Of Several British Invasion Bands. While It Was The Rolling Stones' Punkish Cover That Grabbed The Most Attention, To Equal Effect The Hollies And The Creation Are Among The Others To Have Been Similarly Inspired. Adding To That Cyclical Experience Are The Obviously Sincere Updates Of The Chuck Willis' R&B Heartbreaker "It's Too Late," "For Your Precious Love" -- Which Had Been A Huge Hit For The Jerry Butler-Led Incarnation Of The Impressions -- And Sam Cooke's "Nothing Can Change This Love." Of The Latter, Redding's Take Is Arguably More Powerful As The Intimacy Of His Interpretation Perfectly Demonstrates The Artist's Uncanny Aptitude For Emotional Evocation. The Redding-Penned Titles Likewise Reflect His Mentors, As "Chained And Bound" Easily Adopts The Pleading Conviction Apparent In One Facet Of Cooke's Music. The Samba Groove Of "I Want To Thank You" And The Midtempo Bounce Of "A Woman, A Lover, A Friend" Reflect The Lighter, Fun-Loving Side À La Cooke's "Another Saturday Night" And "Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha." Saving The Best For Last, The Redding/Cropper Collaboration On The Upbeat And Bluesy "Mr. Pitiful" -- A Nickname Given To Redding By A Local Memphis DJ -- Became The Platter's Signature Side, Not To Mention A Significant Crossover Hit, Landing In The Top Ten Of The R&b Survey And Just Missing The Top 40 Pop Singles Chart By A Solitary Position." AMG - Lindsay Planer.

The Soul Album
Used - LP - LP 5132
2003 Out Of Print, 180gm HQ Mono Reissue From Sundazed; Mastered At Nashville Record Productions. Tiny Ding On Center Of Top Seam. "Otis Redding's Talent Began To Surge, Across Songs And Their Stylesand Absorbing Them, With The Recording Of The Soul Album. In Contrast To The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads, Which Was An Advance Over Its Predecessor But Still A Body Of 12 Songs Of Varying Styles And Textures, Rising To Peaks And Never Falling Before An Intense, Soulful Mid-Range, The Soul Album Shows Him Moving From Strength To Strength In A String Of High-Energy, Sweaty Soul Performances, Interspersing His Own Songs With Work By Sam Cooke ("Chain Gang"), Roy Head ("Treat Her Right"), Eddie Floyd ("Everybody Makes A Mistake"), And Smokey Robinson ("It's Growing") And Recasting Them In His Own Style, So That They're Not "Covers" So Much As Reinterpretations; Indeed, "Chain Gang" Is Almost A Rewrite Of The Original, Though One Suspects Not One That Cooke Would Have Disapproved Of. He Still Had A Little Way To Go As A Songwriter -- The Jewel Of This Undervalued Collection Is "Cigarettes And Coffee, Co-authored By Eddie Thomas And Jerry Butler -- But As An Interpreter He Was Now Without Peer, And His Albums Were Now Showing This Remarkable, Stunningly High Level Of Consistency. Also Significant On This Album Was The Contribution Of Steve Cropper, Not Only On Guitar But As Co-author Of Three Songs." AMG - Bruce Eder.
