Limited edition mono reissue on clear vinyl
Part of Atlantic Records’ 75th Anniversary vinyl collection
By 1965, Otis Redding was already a force to be reckoned with, well on his way to earning his King of Soul title. Then, he released this collection, which is absolutely foundational to any soul vinyl collection. This album includes Otis’ soul-searing lament “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now),” a cover of The Rolling Stone’s “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” that is wholly original, the world’s introduction to “Respect” before Aretha made it her own, and Otis’ perfect versions of “My Girl,” “Wonderful World,” and “A Change Is Gonna Come”, standards like “Rock Me Baby” and spirituals like “Down in the Valley.”
