Customer Reviews:

Seminal box set for soul & R&B fans.......2004-10-26

It's amazing how many hidden gems are mixed in amongst the more well-known songs in this fantastic 9 disc box set. From Darrell Banks' "Just Because Your Love is Gone" to the Newcomers' "Open Up Your Heart (and Let Me In), this is simply a treasure-trove of soul / r&b delights. If you like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, the Dramatics, etc, you will love this set....good for dancin', good for romancin'!

Full of Great Stuff.......1999-08-25

Different from the material on the first Stax box - soul music was getting more of a standard rock/dance beat underneath of it, and the music was layed down through multi-tracking rather than through live arrangements. But it's still the voice of soul. There is a wealth of fine music on here. If you choose to buy this, I don't think you'll be sorry. There's a lot of pickings on here. Basically, this is a wonderful archival package.

It is THE collector's box set...amazing! I love it!.......1998-12-21

This box set is something I have coveted ever since we had it at the radio station I used to D.J. a soul show on. It has EVERY single you could want. All of the STAX sound is represented...funky dance numbers, ballads, and grooves that make your butt jump up and shake. It's an amazing resource. The booklet that comes with it is fantastic and super-informative. It's also a great place to look for samples, or find the originals that have been sampled from in a lot of Hip-Hop songs. For instance...Lynda Lyndell singing "What A Man", which was sampled (practically covered) by En Vogue and Salt 'N Peppa a few years ago. The originals are often better than the remakes!! Soul purists who can't get enough, Memphis music lovers, Hip Hop musicians, this is a box set for you...like you wouldn't believe! (And it's only one in a series of three amazing STAX box sets.)

A good complication of Stax soul from the 70es........1998-09-09

If you know the first Stax box and like the music from Jakie Brown movie, you will not regret bying this one. This is a nice complication of old soul musicians wich we dont realy remember in the 90es. Many of the numbers you will recognice, because they have been recorded as cover vertions later on. Therefore it does'nt seem to be old music, but just the original recording of some of the music we hear in the radio.

This is one of the titles you learn to enjoy, the more times you hear it the more you will enjoy it.

A good collection of soul, you dont get tired of because there are 200+ numbers to chose from.
