Otis Redding: A Soupçon of Soul
Various Sources 1967
Source:"A Soupçon of Soul" Big 'Fro Bootleg (BF-007)

I have spent a long time researching this bootleg. The dates commonly circulated with it are incorrect. This is what I have found to be accurate:

Tracks 1-5 are from the Whisky A Go Go shows recorded April 8-10, 1966. They appear on the officially released "Good To Me" with different track editing.

Tracks 6-12 are from Otis' appearance on Ready Steady Go! September 16, 1966. "Shake" and "Land of 1000 Dances" feature Eric Burdon (of the Animals) and Chris Farlowe singing with Otis.
Track 11 was officially released on "Otis Redding Live Ready Steady Go! Special Edition"

Track 13 is from the Oslo, Norway concert recorded April 7, 1967. It is the same performance that can be seen on the DVDs "Remembering Otis" and "Stax/Volt Revue: Live In Norway."

Tracks 14-20 may very well be from Stockholm, Sweden (I can't verify this). However, if they are, they are from April 6, 1967 and not June 4, 1967. The Stax/Volt Revue was in Europe from mid-March to early April 1967. Additionally, Otis was in Stockholm on April 6, 1967 as verified by the DVD "Dreams To Remember." The dates were likely misinterpreted when they were written as 4/6/67 or 6/4/67 as these can both refer to April 6 depending on which side of the pond you are from.
Track 13 is from Oslo, Norway recorded April 7, 1967 and officially released on Sweet Soul: Stax/Volt Revue — Live in Norway 1967

I've been trying to spread this correct information for this release so it stops circulating with the incorrect information.
