- I have just been listening to the the brand new Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 series issue of the Otis Redding 1968 posthumous release 'Dock Of The Bay'. This absolutely superb new Bernie Grundman all-analogue cut, taken direct from the original master tapes, is beautifully presented on 2x45rpm LPs pressed at QRP - Quality Record Pressings.
I also compare this to my UK 1969 ATCO Records release and discuss the sonic differences of this stunningly beautiful, moving LP gem.

Thanks for another thoughtful, insightful video essay.
My pleasure Ron. Thanks for the feedback.
The Dock of the Bay, the song, drew me into american music really. great video Dave, thank you! ....now to buy the record ;)
Glad you enjoyed the video PK, I'm sure you'll enjoy the record.
Enjoyed your video on this album! The music that came out of Stax-Volt studios in the Sixties has got to be some of the best music of any genre in that period Dock of the Bay is still one of the greatest songs in any genre!!
Very nicely said Dave!
I have this release and also really enjoy the quality and the emotional connection.
"Tramp" is also a very fun song to play.
Thanks for watching, and commenting Hank.
Bless you
Thanks for watching Jeremy
Once again, thank you Dave for comparing vintage pressings to this new release.
I'm not enough of a fan* of this 'album' to spend 60$ (which would end up around 90€ in France, IF i'm lucky).
What annoys me here (and on some other releases of this series) is the focus on stereo instead of mono masters that have often been deemed 'superior' (for lack of a better word).
* to me, this LP is an hodgepodge. Not only because of its nature but the songwriting is far from being at the level of the title track unfortunately. That's just my 2cents since this release could be bought solely for the 'Dock of the Bay'.
One can only dream of the album Otis could have released after recording that wonderful track...
Thanks for the feedback Cedric.
I personally think that was your neighours dog at it Dave!
LOL
This album should be one I am dying to get. It's Otis and it's AAA what more do I need to think about? Weirdly enough I prefer most of his albums in mono as the stereo ones have that hard panning on the vocals which I find very distracting. In fairness I haven't done that comparison on Dock of the Bay, are you saying the vocals are more central on these tracks?
Hi Ian, yes they are. Although having said that I do really enjoy the way the band moves around in the soundstage.
@@DaveDenyer Hi there, sorry forgot to say it was great video review, but also forgot I do have DoTB on vinyl in Stereo and Mono in 2 seperate box sets! Ok so I will try it out and report back.
Well after a quick comparison, I am still preferring the mono. The title track isn't as hard panned on the vocals as some of the other tracks like Ole Man Trouble but the Mono version sounds more vibrant. Perhaps it's because Otis is so up front, I'm not sure but I'm enjoying the Mono version better overall. Sorry.
@@ianmelville452 Cool, no need to apologise. I often do prefer mono.
