Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
THE COMPLETE STAX/VOLT SOUL SINGLES, VOLUME 2 (1968-1971) contains 216 tracks on 9 CDs and includes a deluxe 60-page booklet with an essay by Rob Bowman. The booklet is extensively illustrated with photos and archival materials.
The first Stax-Volt box was a monolith, standing as the definitive document of the labels and, therefore, gritty Southern soul. Its sequel, The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 is considerably more problematic. Covering only four years compared to its predecessor, which showcased nine years, Vol. 2 contains 216 tracks, including all of the A- and B-sides released during that era. Most critics consider these four years to be substantially less interesting than Stax's earlier years, and in a sense, they're right. There's no Otis Redding or Sam & Dave, and the music doesn't have the same innovative, kinetic spark of the early years. There's still a lot of great, great music here, but it's difficult to sort it out among these nine discs. About three or four discs' worth of material is truly essential, and it might have been better to boil this era down to a smaller box set, since that would have made for a necessary purchase. As it stands, it's too sprawling and comprehensive to be an essential purchase for anyone other than soul fetishists and hardcore collectors, but those listeners should find much of this fascinating. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Producer: Bill Belmont; Rob Bowman

Professional Reviews
Q (12/93, p.140)
- 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Don't drop it on your foot....here's another 9-CD soul history whopper....the torrent of fine music that [Stax] produced is all here..."

Musician (12/93, p.95)
- "...Casual listeners might be entertained by the chart-toppers here, but STAX/VOLT VOLUME 2, with its high-ticket price and its plethora of lesser-known names and numbers, will be of most abiding interest to collectors and musicologists..."
