Notes

Released on Atlantic rather than Stax as Atlantic owns copyright of all nationally distributed Stax singles recorded between 1959-68.

Booklet only lists producers when the original singles listed them; consequently, most tracks do not have producers listed.

1-7 is incorrectly credited to "Rufus & Friend" ("Friend" is actually Carla Thomas); due to the fact that the single release was originally credited to "Rufus & Friend"

3-3 listed as "Mo' Onions" actually plays its B-side, "Tic-Tac-Toe". This error appears to have been present until at least 1994, as it is on a later repress which has SID codes.

Reviews

  • searchingforagem's avatar
    Full marks to Stax/Volt for being ultra-inclusive when compiling the definitive box set for their important label. Every single soul A-side (some of the pop and country sides were left off, since Stax/Volt never ended up going in that direction anyways, so they're not important in telling the story), plus some choice B-sides grace this set.

    At 9 full CD's (covering 67 artists performing 244 songs), The Complete Stax/Volt Singles, Volume 1: 1959-1968 is for serious or dedicated collectors only. If you're a casual Otis Redding fan, or only really liked "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave, then you're better off sticking with smaller and more specific compilation CD's. If you want all the Rufus Thomas, Eddie Floyd, Mar-Keys, Mable John, Carla Thomas, Booker T & The MGs, Albert King, Mad Lads (the list goes on and on and on, of course) and a bunch of great yet unheralded artists from Stax/Volt history, then this is exactly what you need...and in convenient one-stop shopping.

    The Complete Stax/Volt Singles, Volume 1: 1959-1968 is amazing to listen to over long stretches of time. You can here the Memphis soul sound develop and grow and evolve. You can hear stars like Otis Redding and Carla Thomas work their way to the top of their games. Plus, if you follow along with the informative hard-cover book included with the set, you can read all about the humble beginnings and curiosities of all you favorite southern soul singers and players.

    Soul music was the music of the sixties, and a lot of that great music came from the Stax/Volt label. For those of us who want it all, thanks to The Complete Stax/Volt Singles, Volume 1: 1959-1968, we can have it all. (I myself have the 2007 Japanese box set. It sounds very good and is actually pressed in Japan, whereas the one with the AMCY prefix is just imported from Germany.)

    Recap:

    • 9 full CD's
    • 67 artists
    • 244 songs
    • 10 hours, 50 minutes and 56 seconds of music
    • All of the A-sides in Stax/Volt History from 1959 to 1968, plus choice B-sides
    • The definitive Southern Soul box
