Dreams To Remember: Otis Redding, Stax Records and the Transformation of Southern Soul (hardback format) - a book by Mark Ribowsky. ***Order via link*** https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/dreams-to-remember-otis-redding-stax-records-and-the-transformation-of-southern-soul-mark-ribowsky Back cover blurb: The beating heart of Memphis-based Stax Records, Otis Redding had risen to fame belting out gospel-flecked blues in stage performances that seemed to ignite not only a room but an entire generation. If Berry Gordy's black-owned kingdom in Motown showed the way in soul music, Redding made his own way, going where not even his two role models who had preceded him out of Macon, Georgia—Little Richard and James Brown—had gone. New York Times Notable Book author Mark Ribowsky contextualizes his subject's short career within the larger cultural and social movements of the era, tracing the rise from preacher's son to a preacher of three-minute soul sermons. Soon he was playing at sold-out venues across the world, from Finsbury Park in London to his ultimate conquest, the 1967 Monterrey Pop Festival in California. Dreams to Remember reintroduces an incredibly talented yet impulsive man, while that temperament masked a deep vulnerability that was only exacerbated by an industry that refused him a Grammy until he was in his grave—even as he shaped the other Stax soul men around him (hardback book, 336 pages).

I’ve had this issue before. Dependent on the extent of the pressing error, I use a TINY strategically placed dot on the label right at the edge of the centre at the point where the label and the adapter touch, and place the record there. Fine if at home, not so after a few pints on the decks in a dimly lit club I must admit.

Soul Reflections: 45rpm Singles and EP Picture Covers (Soul Artists 1960-1971) ebook / PDF - by E. Mark Windle ***£4.99 - Order via link below*** The popularity of 1960s soul music globally is evidenced by the vast range of releases of US soul records in other countries. With the resurgence of interest in 1960s soul and R&B throughout Europe and elsewhere, these formats have now taken on an appeal of their own. Picture covers carry intrinsic historical value. Cover art may consist of photographic images of artists, use a stylistic approach, or a combination of both. Where photographic portraits are presented, in some cases they provide the only known images of lesser known soul artists. Around 150 picture covers are presented from the US but also Europe, UK, Japan and other countries. Each record carries a footnote of points of historical interest. This book should appeal to all lovers of soul music including collectors of classic , northern / rare soul, Motown and blue eyed soul.
