Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!
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."
All the hallmarks of a top-notch Analogue Productions reissue are here for you to savor: Mastered directly from the original master tape by Kevin Gray and cut at 45 RPM. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings and RTI, and housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket with film lamination by Stoughton Printing.
