Description

UP FOR BID IS AN ULTRA RARE, FIRST PRESS COPY OF OTIS REDDINGS VERY FIRST RECORDING. IT IS OTIS REDDING AND THE PINETOPPERS ON THE ORBIT 135 LABEL FROM 1961. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON IT AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED IN ATHENS, GA IN MARCH, 1962, NOT 1960 OR 1961 AS HAS OFTEN BEEN REPORTED AND RELEASED ON THE CONFEDERATE 135 LABEL WITH A PICTURE OF THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG ON IT. THE LABEL WAS LATER CHANGED TO ORBIT 135 BECAUSE THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG OFFENDED THE BLACKS. THE RECORD COLLECTORS PRICE GUIDE SHOWS THIS TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE OTIS REDDING RECORD. YOU CAN GOOGLE "WHITETRASHSOUL.BLOGSPOT.COM/2011/01/OTIS-REDDING-PINETOPPERS-SHOUT-BAMALAMA" TO READ THE FULL STORY ON THIS RECORD. IT IS VERY INTERESTING READING. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE, THE RECORD SOLD VERY VIEW COPIES ON EITHER LABEL. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, 1ST PRESS COPY OF THIS RECORD. I BOUGHT IT AT AN ESTATE SALE IN MACON, GEORGIA, THE HOME OF OTIS REDDING, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER 45'S FROM THE 50'S AND 60'S. I ALSO LIVE IN MACON, GA. AND AM A BIG FAN OF OTIS REDDING. THE RECORD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH WITH JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES AND VERY MINIMAL NOISE WHEN PLAYING IT THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THE LABEL HAS JUST A LITTLE RUB WEAR WITH NO STICKERS OR WRITING ON IT.
