Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot \u0026amp; Dan Hersch. Personnel: Otis Redding (vocals); Carla Thomas (vocals). Liner Note Author: Kevin Phinney. It is impossible to overrate Otis Redding. This Rhino compilation, while in no way comprehensive, is nonetheless an outstanding sampler of songs by one of soul music's all-time titans. There's not a dud among these 16 songs, and some, like \"These Arms Of Mine,\" \"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay,\" and \"Try A Little Tenderness,\" rank among the greatest pop songs ever recorded. Redding's performances are mesmerizing and seem to embody the perfect balance between acute sensitivity and sheer overwhelming emotional strength. The combination of Redding's magnetism and the quality of such songs as \"Mr. Pitiful,\" \"I Can't Turn You Loose,\" and \"Respect\" is almost too good to be true. The album's only shortcoming is that there aren't more tracks to savor. A perfect introduction to this phenomenal singer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLabel:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAtlantic – R2 71147, Rhino Records (2) – R2 71147\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFormat:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCD, Compilation\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCountry:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nUS\u003cbr\u003e\r\nReleased:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n1992\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGenre:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFunk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003e\r\nStyle:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSoul\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1        These Arms Of Mine    2:34\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2        Pain In My Heart\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Neville*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2:26\u003cbr\u003e\r\n3        That's How Strong My Love Is\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Jamison*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2:25\u003cbr\u003e\r\n4        Mr. Pitiful    2:44\u003cbr\u003e\r\n5        I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Butler*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2:57\u003cbr\u003e\r\n6        Respect    2:12\u003cbr\u003e\r\n7        I Can't Turn You Loose\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Robinson*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2:49\u003cbr\u003e\r\n8        Satisfaction\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Jagger\/Richards*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2:47\u003cbr\u003e\r\n9        My Lover's Prayer    3:12\u003cbr\u003e\r\n10        Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)    2:43\u003cbr\u003e\r\n11        Try A Little Tenderness\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Woods*, Campbell*, Connelly*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n3:20\u003cbr\u003e\r\n12        Shake\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Cooke*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n2:33\u003cbr\u003e\r\n13        The Happy Song (Dum-Dum)    2:45\u003cbr\u003e\r\n14        Tramp\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFeaturing [With] – Carla Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – McCracklin*, Fulson*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n3:02\u003cbr\u003e\r\n15        (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay    2:42\u003cbr\u003e\r\n16        I've Got Dreams To Remember\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Redding*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n3:14\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPhonographic Copyright ℗ – Atlantic Recording Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCopyright © – Rhino Records Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPressed By – Allied Record Company\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGlass Mastered At – Specialty Records Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\r\nArt Direction – Geoff Gans\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCompiled By [Compilation] – Gary Stewart (4)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDesign – Rachel Gutek\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOther [Research] – Chris Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPhotography By [Cover Photo] – Ray Avery\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRemastered By [Remastering] – Bill Inglot, Dan Hersch\u003cbr\u003e\r\nResearch – Gary Peterson (2)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By – Redding* (tracks: 1, 4 to 7, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16), Cropper* (tracks: 4, 7, 10, 13, 15)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n(pre- IFPI) 1992 original 1st pressing compilation\u003cbr\u003e\r\n12 page booklet.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis compilation ℗ 1992 Atlantic Recording Corp. © 1992 Rhino Records Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e'ARC' printed in the matrix sequence denotes- pressed by Allied Record Company\u003cbr\u003e\r\n'SRC' printed in the matrix sequence denotes- glass master made my Specialty Records Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBarcode: 0 8122-71147-2 5\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSPARS Code: AAD\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMatrix \/ Runout (Variant 1): ARC XM1 S9 3 R2 71147-2 SRC=02\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMatrix \/ Runout (Variant 2): 3 R2 71147-2 SRC=02 ARC ✳1 S11\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: FUNK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/10\/1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- FUNK *SEALED*","offer_id":49258142138610,"sku":"A1HO7U-9PNZ-D1","price":16.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/otis-redding-the-very-best-of_YB0Ws.jpg?v=1779705777","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/otis-redding-the-very-best-of-cd-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
