The album Taylor "sideswiped" from a friend's house was  The Best of Otis Redding, from 1972,

apparently it was never reissued as a CD - - there is one close to the same name but not the exact same tracks

so went running to Rhapsody in hopes they'd have it available to play but nope - - just the listing - - assume I'll be able to build a playlist from the other albums though when I have a little time - - have never tried but think I can make it public - - can't get to it for a while - - sorry - - maybe someone else is a subscriber and has some time ? ? ? ?

UPDATE - - THERE IS NOW A LINK IN POST # 3  TO HEAR A RECREATION OF THIS ALBUM

here's the list
http://www.rhapsody.com/otisredding...stofotisredding

1. Shake

2. Ole Man Trouble

3. Good To Me

4. I Can't Turn You Loose

5. I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)

6. Tell The Truth

7. Just One More Day

8. Respect

9. Pain In My Heart

10. My Lover's Prayer

11. Chain Gang

12. You Don't Miss Your Water

13. Dock Of The Bay, The (Sittin' On)

14. Satisfaction (I Can't Get No)

15. Cigarettes And Coffee

16. Down In The Valley

17. These Arms Of Mine

18. Tramp

20. Try A Little Tenderness

21. Rock Me Baby

22. That's How Strong My Love Is

23. My Girl

24. Love Man

25. A Change Is Gonna Come

That sooo needs to be a cd, or at least downloadable mp3s! I loooove Otis!

OK I have never tried to create a public playlist before on Rhapsody much less tried to link anyone to it so I hope it works for everyone
I found an active version of all the songs on the original album except for A Change Is Going To Come - - -
in order to complete the set I substituted one by Sam Cooke - - seemed appropriate considering Taylor's connection to it and don't think Mr. Otis would mind having Sam sit in with him do you ?

this is what a little boy heard that day - - - - - -

you should be able to listen to all 25 tracks of this mock up album once but it may not work again from the same computer - - - -
every 30 days you get another 25 free listens and then are reduced to teasers like they do on sites like Amazon - - I bought the unlimited listens package quite a while ago and not sure I could stand to be without it now.

This is going to sound like a crazy question - and probably Taylor has this in his iPod already...

But what about burning these songs onto a CD in this very order?

Silly?
(coming from the person that has no CD burning capability - ancient dinosaur computer & dial-up)

I did find these - http://www.ccmusic.com/search.cfm?search...ype=artist

Taylor - please do I've Got Dreams to Remember - it would be a slice of heaven on earth.

several people collaborated on the boogie to recreate the album and were able to find all of the songs - even O.R.'s version of A Change Is Going to Come

for those who don't "boogie" this is a link to download the entire album The Best of Otis Redding,1972 in a zip file - - many thanks to Jan

Amy - that site you found is a great one-stop-shopping place for Otis Redding - too bad neither of the 2 Very Best versions are the same track list as The Best Of - - -

Who wants to volunteer to burn that CD for me?

I can burn a copy for you amy.

That would be awesome! You're coming to the Portland show, right?

Yeah, I'll be there. I'll have it done for you then.

Thank you!!!! I can't wait for the weekend...
