This bundle includes The Complete Stax/Volt Singles: 1959-1968 Volume 1 (3LP), Volume 2 (3LP), Volume 3 (3LP) & Volume 4 (3LP)

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 decades 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 You Dont Know Like I Know (Sam & Dave), Respect (Otis Redding), A Womans Love (Carla Thomas), Jump Back (Rufus Thomas), Grab This Thing (Part 1) (The Mar-Keys), Satisfaction (Otis Redding), Sugar Sugar (The Mad Lads), Knock On Wood (Eddie Floyd), Oh, Pretty Woman (Albert King), and Jingle 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 todays stereo systems without compromise.
