Description
Setting the stage:
I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…
Otis Redding:
Otis Redding was the soul preacher of the 1960s, a powerhouse of emotion and grit whose voice could raise the roof or break your heart. Born in Georgia, he brought raw energy to every note, helping to shape the sound of Stax Records and redefine American soul music. With classics like “Try a Little Tenderness” and “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” Redding became the embodiment of Southern soul before his untimely death at just 26 years old. What made Otis special wasn’t just his unmatched vocal chops, it was his authenticity. He sang with the fire of gospel and the ache of the blues, making you feel every word. Even decades later, Otis’s voice still resonates, reminding listeners why he’s considered one of the greatest soul singers of all time.
Otis Redding - Otis Blue
Released in 1965 and often hailed as Otis Redding’s finest hour, Otis Blue is a masterclass in soul music. Recorded over a single weekend, the album blends passionate originals with transformative covers, including the iconic “Respect” (yes, before Aretha!), “A Change Is Gonna Come,” and “Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones, reimagined into gritty Memphis soul. Redding’s cover of “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” became a signature ballad and a cornerstone of his legacy. Critics and collectors alike rank Otis Blue among the greatest albums of all time. It landed on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums” and helped solidify Otis as a towering voice of 1960s soul. This Sundazed mono reissue preserves the original warmth and depth of the analog recordings, making it a must-have for any soul collector.
