Continuing to pick every Otis Redding original I can find in the bins. Here's one of many posthumous issues, released after his death in a plane crash 1967. A selection of songs from three live shows recorded at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles 1966. So before his wider breakthrough at the Monterey festival, but already with that blend of skill and power that made him unique on the scene back then. He's doing seven self-penned songs together with covers of classic Rolling Stones, James Brown and Alan Toussaint songs - all hits one way or another. This is just how I want a live album - grand, yet intimate, with top performance and lots of nerve. The audio is excellent and when closing my eyes in the listening chair I'm travelling back to Whisky a Go Go in LA 1966, taking part and just enjoy. It's all good, but if I had to choose a favorite track it'd be the furious "Satisfaction". Issued and reissued on all possible formats all over the world through the years. First UK on Atlantic (587/588148) in both mono and stereo came on plum label with different sleeve design. Premiere US had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with ATCO ad inner.
