The vinyl debut of The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1959-1968!

As one of two major mid-century R&B studios, Stax and Volt demonstrated the evolution of R&B in the U.S., delivering a comprehensive map of gritty, deep Southern soul. This set is a master class in deep southern soul.

By the decade’s midpoint, the collective roster had indisputably hit its stride. VOLUMES 3 and 4 effectively capture lightning in a bottle, showcasing these artists at the height of their powers with essential cuts like β€œYou Don’t Know Like I Know” (Sam & Dave), β€œRespect” (Otis Redding), β€œA Woman’s Love” (Carla Thomas), β€œJump Back” (Rufus Thomas), β€œGrab This Thing (Part 1)” (The Mar-Keys), β€œSatisfaction” (Otis Redding), β€œSugar Sugar” (The Mad Lads), β€œKnock On Wood” (Eddie Floyd), β€œOh, Pretty Woman” (Albert King), and β€œJingle Bells” (Booker T. & the MGs), among many others.

The collection was remastered from the original Stax/Volt mono single masters. In a few cases, the tapes were lost, and original disc sources were used. Analog-to-digital mastering was done with a specially modified and restored Ampex 350 full-track mono machine with original tube electronics. All equipment in the transfer process was chosen specifically to recreate the Stax sound on today’s stereo systems without compromise.
