Otis Redding - Dreams to Remember: The Otis Redding Anthology

More filling than the two Very Best CDs in the Otis Redding catalog, less hefty than the four-disc Otis! box, Dreams to Remember is a double set of highlights that's no doubt just what many new and old fans need. Mixing signature numbers such as "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" and "Respect" with lesser-known works of genius like "I Love You More Than Words Can Say" and "Trick or Treat," this package gives Redding his due once more--and in superfine style. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com essential recording

Soulfull, Food for soul

This compilation is a defination of Otis capability in expressing different experinciences and feelings for lovers,it is the epitomy of music that did not wane with the time,actually the quality of Otis Reddind music surpasses most of contemporary styles,the only shortcoming is that most of the tracks are short but the double CD's are worth the price

More than words can say...

I bought this set a few years ago in a record store because I wanted to hear more by the "Dock of the Bay Guy". I ended up listening to both discs over and over again for the next five days, I couldn't get enough. The only reason you could possibly have for not getting this collection is because you've decided to go for "Otis!" the magnificent 4 disc boxed set. September 16, 2005

A worthwhile collection

I cannot tell you how long it has taken me to find this collection. I have searched for this for months, and today I finally found a copy -- $50 Canadian -- not cheap but worth every penny. It's a shame that it is so hard to find Otis Redding on CD. He is one of the greatest singers ever, and yet in this day and age of countless Britney and Mandy Moore collections, you are hard-pressed to find an Otis compilation. Some of the older ones are out there ("The Very Best Of" and "Ultimate") but they are not remastered and are not as comprehensive as this one.

"Dreams to Remember" is beautifully presented by Rhino, who continue to set the bar in compilations. All the tracks are top-notch including "These Arms of Mine" and "Love Man" (two favorites featured in the film "Dirty Dancing"), "Try A Little Tenderness", the extraordinary version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and of course, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay". There are also some live tracks, which are essential because Otis was highly regarded for his live performances.

If you are able to find this collection, I urge you to buy it. And I urge music stores to stock up on their Otis CDs! LOL August 30, 2005
