About this product
Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Hybrid Stereo SACD Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tape direct to DSD! Contains Otis Redding's posthumous hit 'Sittin' On the Dock Of the Bay' Appeared on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, rated 161/500! The guts of the story are this While on tour with the Bar-Kays in August 1967, Otis Redding's popularity was rising, and he was inundated with fans at his hotel in downtown San Francisco. Looking for a retreat, he accepted rock concert impresario Bill Graham's offer to stay at his houseboat at Waldo Point in Sausalito, California. Inspired, Redding started writing the lines, 'Sittin' in the morning sun, I'll be sittin' when the evening comes' and the first verse of a song, under the abbreviated title 'Dock of the Bay.' He had completed his famed performance at the Monterey Pop Festival just weeks earlier. While touring in support of the albums King & Queen (a collaboration with female vocalist Carla Thomas) and Live in Europe, he continued to scribble lines of the song on napkins and hotel paper. In November of that year, he joined producer and esteemed soul guitarist Steve Cropper at the Stax recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee, to record the song. Cropper remembers 'Otis was one of those the kind of guy who had 100 ideas.... He had been in San Francisco doing The Fillmore. And the story that I got he was renting boathouse or stayed at a boathouse or something and that's where he got the idea of the ships coming in the bay there. And that's about all he had 'I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again.' I just took that... and I finished the lyrics. If you listen to the songs I collaborated with Otis, most of the lyrics are about him.... Otis didn't really write about himself but I did. Songs like 'Mr. Pitiful, Fa-Fa-F
