Otis Redding's Recordings
Otis Blue is in stereo if you get the double CD version because one CD is stereo, the other the original MONO. The problem with all of Otis Redding's recordings is they are all in MONO, only one was recorded in STEREO.

Personally, I hate listening to anything is MONO even Otis, and I love the man's voice.


One of the finest soul records ever made
A must have for serious music fans. The opening track is worth the price of admission.


Old School Music
Sensational I give this a 5 rating, take me home. Every now & then one needs reminding & reflecting.


My favorite soul music and soul artist
Otis' music is the most honest to goodness, balls to the walls soul you will ever experience. When you have heard too much motown or James Brown, and want something a little different, a little grittier, Otis Redding is your man. There is no lie whether he is begging or pleading for his woman's love or when he's shouting gospel on "Amen. " And the sparse yet powerful playing, especially by the Memphis horns, add the funky backround that is the trademark Otis sound. There is definitely more going on in his music than you will get with Motown. Otis is like the Led Zeppelin of soul, the heaviest and hardest but not quite as famous as the Beatles. This album is by far his best. Short and very sweet.


Make that 11 stars....
Put this in your player and prepare to be taken by it. one for each great song on The Immortal Otis Redding. You'll laugh, dance, and most of all, feel love while listening to this collection. By the time I got to the 9th cut, Champagne And Wine, I thought I had heard enough soulful Otis to hold me for a long time, but it keeps coming; A Fool For You, Amen and all the rest of these gems are nothing short of mesmerizing. I'm very happy I decided to purchase this CD. The sound-quality is also excellent.
