Talk:Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Not much specified about appropriateness at Good article criteria. Per WP:PERTINENCE, "Effort should therefore be made to improve quality and choice of images or captions in articles rather than favoring their removal, especially on pages which have few visuals." While it may not be contemporary, it's in black and white, which adds to that old aesthetic. No Otis images available. Perhaps a of the original Muscle Shoals studio would be more appropriate?

 * I uploaded a nice picture from a book depicting the session. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 09:31, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Recording dates
I see several sources mention that, except for one track, the album was recorded in a 24-hour session on July 9–10, 1965. None of the sources specify which track is the extra one though, nor do they say on which day it was recorded. The infobox writes it was April 19, 1965, but this is unsourced by the current version of the page. I lookied at CD reissues on Discogs to see if there were any helpful liner notes, but I came up empty. Can anyone help here?  Tkbrett  (✉) 01:29, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * In his liner notes to the 2015 CD release, Rob Bowman writes that the mono version of "I've Been Loving You Too Long" was cut in April1965. That is as specific as he gets. The song was rerecorded for stereo during the Otis Blue session. I have added this to the article.  Tkbrett  (✉) 15:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
