Otis Redding Live At The Whisky A Go Go set for launch

An Otis Redding box set featuring material from his three-night residency at West Hollywood’s The Whisky A Go Go in 1966 will be launched later this year.

Otis Redding: Live At The Whisky A Go Go: The Complete Recordings spans seven performances across six CDs and will be released on October 21 via Stax Records.

The concerts were first documented on the posthumous release In Person At The Whisky A Go Go, but the new box set is the first time the entire recordings have been made available.

The audio has been remixed and remastered from the original 4-track analogue tapes and a poster, new liner notes from Los Angeles-based journalist Lynell George and box set co-producer Bill Bentley will also be bundled in the box set.

Doors guitarist Robby Krieger attended one of the shows and says he was mesmerised by the performance.

He continues: “I remember standing right in front of the stage for the whole show. I never heard of Otis Redding before and I was amazed at the energy that he created on the stage.”

The package is being released to mark 50 years since the landmark performances. Redding died in a plane crash on December 10, 1967.
