Otis Redding - Complete & Unbelievable...The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul

180-gram 2LP plus 7-inch single

Includes original mono and stereo versions of the album

Otis Redding helped define soul music in 1966 with Complete And Unbelievable... The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul. The album, which peaked at No. 5 on the U.S. R&B charts, was once praised by critic Jon Landau as: "The finest record ever to come out of Memphis and certainly the best example of modern soul ever recorded."

Redding recorded his fifth studio album, The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul, in the summer of 1966 at Stax Studios in Memphis. Together with Booker T. & the M.G.'s, pianist Isaac Hayes and the Memphis Horns, Redding recorded 12 songs for the album, including the all-time classics, "Try A Little Tenderness" and "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)."

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark recording, Rhino is releasing it as a double LP set featuring both mono and stereo versions of the album, the latter of which has been out-of-print for decades. Both LPs will be pressed on 180-gram vinyl for superior audio quality. The set comes with a bonus 7-inch reissue of the single: "Try A Little Tenderness" b/w "I'm Sick Y'all."
