Original 1968 first pressing STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE
As it is, "Dock Of The Bay" was Otis’ last single and the only indication left of where Otis was going to take us. It is possible to thing that the tremendous emotional impact of this song — and that would be the indication of its soul — is in part due to his death, but the song itself, a distillation of all that’s best in soul ballads, stands as one of Otis’ very best recordings. “Dock of the Bay” indicated a real change in Otis’ ballad style; he refined down to two beautiful lines the techniques of tension against melancholy that he used in “Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa” and “Try a Little Tenderness.”
The cuts on this “memorial album” were selected by Jon Landau, who went through all of Otis’ recordings and picked his best performances with the exception of most of the best-known material. People who don’t buy R&B singles should be especially grateful as should those who are not disc jockeys and did not obtain the Stax “Stay in School” album, a release which featured all the Stax-Volt performers in an antidrop out propaganda piece. “Huckle-Buck” from that album is a performance that swings like mad. Where the horns aren’t carrying it, the bass is - just great.
“I’m Coming Home,” a nearly faultless display of Otis’ voice, because of the arrangement, particularly the horns which provide the primary texture, is relatively uninteresting and should probably not have been included in this set. “Ole Man Trouble” is too loose on this recording. While it is a fine song and a moving one with which to close this album, it can be found in a much better version on Otis Blue. But those are only a couple of the decided misteps, because the positives of the the albums rewards throughout both sides - abound!
