1. Please can someone tell me which Otis Redding song is sampled on
the Durutti Column track 'Otis', from their 1989 'Vini Reilly' album?
The sample is of Otis singing something like "another sleepness
<lonely?> night for me".

2. Can you name a fairly widely available Otis Redding CD (or various
artists compilation CD) that contains the above Otis Redding song
please?

Hope someone can help - many thanks

Hi goverton:

Thanks for the interesting question! 

The Otis Redding track that is sampled in "Otis" by Durutti Column is
"Pain in My Heart".

The following article from PopMatters shows this:

24 Hour Party People

Quote: "Moby, in his new solo hitmaker incarnation, could learn a
lesson from another of the songs on this disc. Vini Reilly, better
known as the Durutti Column, who is more heard about than heard, does
a perfect thing with his electro shoulda-been classic "Otis." This
song uses soulful vocal samples -- this time from Otis Redding -- to
create a new piece of hearty music that actually makes emotional
sense. Hearing that "Come back / Come back / Come back, baby" line
from "Pain in My Heart" is thrilling in its new context. How come more
people don't know about that band?"


The lyrics for "Pain in My Heart" can be found at:

Quote: 
"A little pain in my heart
Just won't let me be
Wake up restless nights
Lord and I can't even sleep."


"Pain in My Heart" can be found on many widely available Otis Redding
compilations, including:

Thanks - the last time I tried to get this question answered (7 or 8
years ago), the Durutti Column's own discussion list couldn't help me.
So congratulations!
