Editorial Reviews

Otis Redding helped define soul music in 1966 with Complete And Unbelievable... The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul. The album, which peaked at #5 on the U.S. R&B charts, was once praised by critic Jon Landau as: "The finest record ever to come out of Memphis and certainly the best example of modern soul ever recorded."
Redding recorded his fifth studio album, THE OTIS REDDING DICTIONARY OF SOUL, at Stax Studios in Memphis. Together with Booker T. & the M.G.'s, pianist Isaac Hayes and the Memphis Horns, Redding recorded 12 songs for the album, including the all-time classics, "Try A Little Tenderness" and "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)."
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark recording, Rhino will release a two-disc edition that includes remastered mono and stereo mixes of the album, plus eight bonus tracks. Rhino will also release THE OTIS REDDING DICTIONARY OF SOUL as a double-LP set featuring both mono and stereo versions of the album, the latter of which has been out-of-print for decades. Both LPs will be pressed on 180-gram vinyl for superior audio quality. The set comes with a bonus 7" reissue of the single: "Try A Little Tenderness" b/w "I'm Sick Y'all."

GOOD BUY!

I received this from Amazon Prime a few weeks back and couldn't be more happy with it. I have the Otis "5 Pack" which includes his first 5 albums that also has this one in it. When I seen this on Amazon awhile back, I knew I would eventually get it since I also have the deluxe version of "Otis Blue". If you are a avid Otis fan, you'll want this if for anything the two songs, "You Left The Water Running" (bonus track), and "I'm Sick Ya'll" (the stereo version). "Water" is on the old box set that was out a few years back (a bit pricey and not really anything that's hard to get on it if you have all of Otis's albums) and is a GREAT song! If you are familiar with "I'm Sick Ya'll", you'll know the vocals are WAY DOWN in the mono and almost impossible to hear even though it's a fantastic song. On this new stereo version, the vocals are up front and makes it almost a new song. It's nice listening to both mono and stereo versions of this album and the liner notes offer some interesting information.If you have "Remember Me" (my favorite Otis album!) and the live albums, you'll already have the bonus tracts not counting the gem, "Water". For the price (under $15.00), and if you are a Otis nut like I am, it's well worth having.

'The Dictionary of Soul' is all that, and more.

Great album...the hidden gem is the live version of 'Try A Little Tenderness". Otis at the height of his powers was right up there with James Brown, Al Green, Marvin Gaye...but he had depth that James didn't, fire as opposed to Marvins' cool, and at his height, was the total package as much as Al Green. It's just too bad he left us shortly after he wrote' Dock Of The Bay'. We would never know what more he could have accomplished, but with 'The Dictionary Of Soul' you have him on two luscious discs at the height of his powers. Grab this!

A Soul essential.

This was Otis Redding's final studio album to be released prior to his tragic and untimely death and (like all of his previous releases) it does not disappoint. Otis was a singer who could effortlessly handle everything from the slowest and most emotive ballads to the funkiest and rawest uptempo R&B numbers and on this 1966 release you get them both. "Try A Little Tenderness" was this album's biggest hit and was also Otis's biggest hit up until this point in his career. Enjoy!

His Most "Modern" Album

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2017

”The Dictionary of Soul” was the last studio solo album to be released in his lifetime. The album came out in October 1966 and it is a whole his most personal and modern. He was was clearly expanding the borders of his music and his songwriting was maturing and becoming more personal.
Several songs are written and recorded in a style not that of his iconic ”Sitting on the Dock of the Bay”, which was one of the very last songs he wrote and recorded. It’s very nice the guitar is much more exposed than on his previous albums, and the general sound of the album may lead your thoughts towards that of Janis Joplin and her bands.
Redding wrote a lot of the material to this album and especially "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)" written with Steve Cropper has a lot in common with ”Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” in terms of sound and feel.
Croppers bluesy guitar pops up in front here and there and adds a lot to the excitement, and generally gives the album a more ”progressive” feel.
Highlights are many, but obviously his version of ”Try a Little Tenderness” has become a classic. His version of Willis’ You’re still My Baby” is just great.
Redding’s own “Toy of Joy” has a lot in common with “In the Midnight Hour” and works perfectly. “She Put the Hurt on Me” is almost upbeat and adds nicely to the variety of the album.
As a whole I believe I’d rate the album his most perfect.
