Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Compilation producers: Bill Belmont, Rob Bowman.
Includes a 60-page booklet with liner notes by Rob Bowman.
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1994, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
THE COMPLETE STAX/VOLT SINGLES, VOLUME 3 won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes.
As the last installment in the three-volume document of the complete Stax-Volt singles, Vol. 3: 1972-1975 is by far the weakest of the series. During those four years, the label was winding down, since it was unable to successfully make the transition from gritty soul to smoother soul and disco. Their older artists couldn't handle the newer sound, and the newer artists were generally saddled with undistinguished songs. In other words, there weren't many great singles from this era, which is what makes listening to The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 3: 1972-1975 such a chore. While the sound of the set is pleasant, evoking both the funky and smooth soul of the early '70s quite well, the songs and the performances aren't particularly noteworthy. There's about a disc and a half worth of prime material scattered across this set, and only die-hard collectors and fetishists will have the patience to find them. Still, those dedicated listeners will find the box a nice way to conclude the series, since it is a well-produced and comprehensive set, even if the music itself is uneven. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (12/29/94-1/12/95, p.188)
- 4 Stars - Excellent - "...By this point, Stax had for the most part stopped trying to chase trends and instead concentrated on its strengths: down-home, funky and gritty urban blues..."

Entertainment Weekly (1/13/95, p.61)
- "...if you've got an itch for soul that you thought could never be adequately scratched, [THE COMPLETE STAX/VOLT SOUL SINGLES, VOLUME 3: 1972-1975] might just do the trick..."
