Story & Background
This 1964 first pressing of "Pain in My Heart" on the Atlantic label is a crucial artefact that reveals the complex distribution dynamics of Memphis soul music. Although Otis Redding recorded his iconic material at Stax Records studios, backed by the legendary house band such as Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Atlantic held the exclusive national distribution rights for the entire Stax catalogue and its subsidiary Volt. This meant that, for a record release of such calibre, the Atlantic label would appear on the sleeve, guaranteeing Otis widespread exposure well beyond regional boundaries. This synergy was fundamental to the rise of the "Memphis sound", making this specific Atlantic edition the main gateway for millions of listeners to Redding's boundless genius.
