THE COMPLETE STAX/VOLT SINGLES 1959-1968 is a 9 CD set with 244 tracks and a 64 page booklet; each disc is over 60 minutes long.

Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch at DigiPrep, Los Angeles, California.

At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many of the genre's major names -- Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, Booker T. & the MG's, William Bell, Rufus Thomas, the Bar-Kays, Albert King -- plus many terrific one-shot wonders are showcased in terrific sound and augmented with an in-depth booklet. For any serious soul or rock collector, it's an essential set, since Stax-Volt was not only a musically revolutionary label, its roster was deep with talent, which means much of the music on this collection is first-rate. But if you only want the hits, you'll be better off with a smaller collection, since too much of this set will sound too similar, and sorting through the nine discs will be a monumental task if you only want to hear Otis, Rufus, Carla, and Sam & Dave. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Includes liner notes by Rob Bowman.Q (11/03, p.127) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A remarkably consistent body of work extending to just about every A-side released during the period covered here....For a while, Stax just happened to be the greatest, grittiest, funkiest label on the planet..."
Mojo (Publisher) (9/03, p.114) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...This 9-CD collection captures the '60s' creative vitality..."
New York Times (Publisher) (5/1/91) - "..What is Southern soul music? Try listening to "The Complete Stax/Volt Singles: 1959-1968"...The collection has 244 rhythm-and-blues tracks recorded in Memphis when the city was at its peak as a soul-music capital. In the 1960's, the Stax/Volt record labels... pioneered the devlopment of a genre that has influenced such performers as Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and many others.."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars WELL WORTH THE MONEY
This collection has some of the best pure soul and blues you'll find anywhere. The real bonus being some obscure songs and artists you just don't run into. Pure southern soul.
