The Majestics
The (mostly) instrumental r&b band known as The Majestics made their first appearance on this site a couple of years ago. A mainstay of the Toronto area's dance club scene, they were possibly Canada's foremost r&b band throughout the '60s.
This instrumental tribute LP to Otis Redding contains ten songs that the soul giant wrote and/or (in the case of "Satisfaction") recorded. It was recorded at Bay Studios in Toronto (home to many other Arc albums) by producer Tony DiMaria (who also recorded the first Majestics LP I posted), with arrangements by Eric N. Robertson. All four of the tracks I've posted here are first-rate funky r&b, but my favourite of the bunch is probably the cover of "Satisfaction," which features some pretty great drum breaks.

This is a solid cover LP, and it's not hard to find, either. Probably the most common of the Majestics LP's.
Well worth the hunt, and some juicy grooves contained! Don't expect to see this as a legit reissue..find the original LP!! Best sound to be had with these old Burgandy Label Arc THICK pressings. HI-FI goodstuff.
