...image-intensifier tube, a sturdy combination of the home TV screen and miniaturized space-age electronics. Focused sharply by the scope's front lens, the slightest flickers of light are directed against a chemical film, causing it to discharge electrons. Boosted along by a 15,000-volt electrostatic field, those electrons smack into a phosphorcoated screen whose light then jars loose still another flock of electrons. The process is repeated three times, and the high-voltage electron acceleration, or energy buildup, produces a progressively brighter image. Besides the light, the only other power source is a tiny built...
...DOCK OF THE BAY (Volt). The title song, Otis Redding's first million-selling single, was recorded a few weeks before his death in a plane crash last December.

But the album has other cuts of more typical pounding blues (I'm Coming Home and Don't Mess with Cupid), as well as some lighthearted badinage with Carla Thomas...
