Rance Allen Group —
Truth Is Where It's At ... LP Truth/Stax, 1972. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An excellent album by Rance Allen – one of the most overlooked talents in Stax's early 70s roster, and a real genius for blending his gospel roots with influences of the soul and funk scene of his time. Proof of this is the album's great remake of "There's Gonna Be a Showdown", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Black Nasty —
Talking To The People ... LP Enterprise/Stax, 1973. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Excellent heavy funk from Stax! Black Nasty were one of the heaviest groups on the label – with a rock-solid guitar-based groove that went even farther than the Bar-Kays, who were no slouch in the guitar department themselves! The grooves are all slow to midtempo, with the band coming down ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stax, 1960s. Near Mint- ... $13.99
Classic Memphis organ grooves from Booker T and the mighty MGs! Includes plenty of nice early tracks – like the funky sample classic "Hip Hug Her", and "Soul Limbo", "Time Is Tight", "Heads Or Tails", and "Hang Em High". LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Booker T & The MGs —
Doin' Our Thing ... LP Stax, 1968. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Booker T & The MGs – definitely doing their thing on this late 60s cooker – and moving their instrumental sound into a whole new range than before! The album has a very groovy feel – nice and tight, with especially great organ and guitar lines – often tuned towards 60s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Doin' Our Thing (blue vinyl pressing) ... LP 27.99(Original yellow label stereo pressing! Cover has a cutout mark and a light bump in one corner – but overall this is a great copy!)
Booker T & The MGs —
McLemore Avenue ... LP Stax, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
The Beatles had Abbey Road – and Booker T & The MGs had McLemore Ave, the main street running outside the Stax studios, and a fitting title for the album that has them playing tunes from The Beatles' incredible Abbey Road album. If you've ever thought that Abbey Road was a soft-rock ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Booker T & The MGs —
Melting Pot ... LP Stax, 1971. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the greatest albums ever from Booker T & The MGs – and very different than their early work! The record has Book & Co taking off with a stretched-out jazzy sound – carving expanded grooves that are filled with sweet organ solos, choppy guitar riffs, and some incredibly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Melting Pot (180 gram pressing) ... LP 26.99(Original yellow label stereo pressing with Mastercraft etch. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Booker T & The MGs —
Soul Limbo ... LP Stax, 1968. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Very hip work from Booker T & The MGs – an album that has them standing out under a pier by the ocean on the cover – clearly a long way from their Memphis roots! The sound here still has a good dose of those roots, though – but it also shows them picking up some hipper ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Soul Limbo ... LP 12.99(Original yellow label stereo pressing – in great shape!)
Steve Cropper, Albert King, & Pops Staples —
Jammed Together ... LP Stax, 1969. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Cropper meets up with the deep soul of Pops Staples and the southern blues of Albert King – for a heavy-duty session that's clearly aimed at the crossover scene. The tracks have a nice raw electric sound – produced with that back-to-basics approach that you sometimes didn't even find ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Dramatics —
Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ... LP Stax/Volt, 1971. Very Good Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A fantastic album by The Dramatics – with a harder funkier sound than you'll find on most of their other records of the time – a gritty gem from the group's early years, and a record that really deserves its placement on the Stax label! The record has the group moving into a post-Tempta ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label Volt pressing. Cover has surface wear, light edge wear.)
Billy Eckstine —
Something More ... LP Stax (UK), Early 70s. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
Stax, Early 70s/1977. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Earlier Stax work recorded by The Emotions, not issued at the time and packaged together into a pretty great album during the time of the girls' bigger fame on Columbia! The work here is surprisingly great – not really filler at all, and in a style that's almost hipper than any of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stax, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
13 tracks of Eddie's classic Stax sides, with a range of material that runs from 60s through 70s. A handful of big hits, and a big batch of lesser known, but still great Memphis soul from Floyd. Includes "I've Never Found A Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)", "Bring It Home To Me" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Late 70s issue. NOTE – Cover has a manufacturing flaw at the top edge, where the front paste-on was applied with a torn and bent portion.)
John Lee Hooker —
That's Where It's At! ... LP Stax, 1969. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A fantastic pairing of soulful talents – the legendary John Lee Hooker on the mighty Stax Records – in a set that's a real standout in the career of both! The vibe here is different than the usual sound of Stax – not a Memphis-ized John Lee Hooker, but instead the kind of ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(2017 reissue.)
John Kasandra —
True Genius ... LP Respect/Stax, 1972. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A mixed up bag of styles – like all of Kasandra's work from the time – kind of a concept soul album mixed with a showier style, and bits of jazz and vocal-based material. Imagine Lou Rawls letting down his hair during the Capitol years – and you've got only part of the picture ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Albert King —
Born Under A Bad Sign ... LP Stax, 1967. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of THE electric blues records of the 60s – a seminal set by Albert King that was probably blasted out of more college dorm rooms than southside juke joints, but which still more than deserves its due! The set was recorded by Stax with a nice raw sound – guitar very much upfront, ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label stereo pressing, with 1A matrix and CT stamp. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Albert King —
King Does The King's Things ... LP Stax, 1969. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the more obscure albums by Albert King – and a surprisingly great little set! Given that the concept – hinted at in the title – has Albert performing songs made famous by Elvis Presley, you might think that the record is a bit of a sell-out, or somewhat gimmicky. But ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and a small light blemish in front.)
Albert King —
Lovejoy ... LP Stax, 1971. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A funky classic from Albert King's great years on Stax – a time when he was forging his bluesy roots with all the sharp sounds the Memphis label had to provide! The album's got production and some great songs from Don Nix – who certainly makes his presence known here, by slanting the ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing. Cover has a cutout notch.)
Jean Knight —
Mr Big Stuff ... LP Stax, 1970. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Jean Knight's classic – and a monumental album of funky female soul that was one of the best albums in the "second generation" Stax era! You probably know the title cut, as it was her biggest hit, and the inspiration for loads of "answer" songs (some of which came from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a half split top seam.)
Little Milton —
Blues N Soul ... LP Stax, 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Baaad bluesy work from Little Milton – one of his killers for Stax, and a record that's equally heavy on the soul tip too! There's a strong Memphis vibe going on here – thanks to arrangements from James Mitchell, and backings from the Memphis Horns – who really do a good job of ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mar-Keys —
Great Memphis Sound ... LP Stax, 1966. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A great Memphis sound from the second greatest instrumental group on Stax next to Booker T & The MGs – heard here on a massive record that really pushes The Mar-Keys to the next level! On previous records, the combo always had a sound that was a bit brighter than Booker and his group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original yellow label stereo pressing! Cover has some light wear, mostly near the top and bottom seams – but overall this is a great clean copy.)
Mel & Tim —
Starting All Over Again ... LP Stax, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Ahhh, good ol' Mel & Tim – possibly our favorite soul duo ever, and a really dynamic pair that carve some great new territory away from the path set by Sam & Dave! The album's a bit of a comeback for the duo, as you'd guess from the title – even though it was only recorded a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Otis Redding —
Lonely & Blue – The Deepest Soul Of Otis Redding ... LP Stax, Late 1960s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A very cool idea – and a set that works together almost as a "lost" Otis Redding album – from the cover art right down to the grooves on the disc! The package focuses on the deepest, bluest side of Otis Redding – his amazing talent for a heartbreaking song and a sad-ting ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Otis Redding —
Otis Redding Live In Europe ... LP Volt, 1967. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A great little live set – recorded overseas, but with a really classic 60s southern soul sound overall!

(70s Atco pressing with repeating logo label and SP suffix.)
Johnnie Taylor —
Best Of Johnnie Taylor ... LP Stax, Late 60s/Early 70s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Johnnie Taylor —
Wanted One Soul Singer ... LP Stax, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Johnnie Taylor's first album for Stax – and a tremendous little set that easily stands as one of his greatest records ever! Sure, we love Johnnie in all his incarnations – but there's a special sort of something here – a rawness and earnestness – that makes the whole thing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original yellow label pressing. Cover looks great, with just a small cutout hole on one corner.)
Rufus Thomas —
Live – Doing The Push & Pull at PJ's ... LP Stax, 1971. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A killer live set by Rufus Thomas – recorded right at the height of his funky comeback, before a very right-on crowd at PJ's Nightclub in LA!

Stax, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $36.99
One of the most fantastic soundtracks of the 70s – and maybe even of all time – thanks to a non-stop blast of insane styles and grooves – all quite different than other blacksploitation records of the time! For this, his masterpiece film, Melvin Van Peebles composed a non-stop ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A landmark double-live album that was easily one of the most important soul record moments of the 70s!
