Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
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.
Includes liner notes by Rob Bowman.
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

(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.."
