Bar-Kays —
Black Rock ... LP 
Volt, 1971. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An album that's every bit as great as the title might imply – heavy guitar-based funk from the second version of The Bar-Kays – one that uses the new instrumental focus to push a groove that's much more black rock than before! There's still a bit of trumpet from the past, but the sound ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bar-Kays —
Cold Blooded ... LP Volt, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Classic black rock funk from Stax, by the second version of the Bar-Kays (the first went down in the plane with Otis) with a nice hard sound all the way through! There's plenty of guitars in the mix, ripping away like a buzzsaw over the top of bass-heavy funk rhythms – ready to bite with the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Cover has a small cutout mark, and very light wear in one corner – but this is a great copy.)
Bar-Kays —
Gotta Groove ... LP Volt, 1969. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Amazing work from the new version of The Bar-Kays – a group who reformed to become a combo as heavy as any of the best funky groups from Detroit, LA, or New York at the time! There's a style here that's a sweet Memphis distillation of ideas bubbling under in music by Sly Stone, Funkadelic, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original blue label pressing – a great copy!)
Volt, 1969. Very Good+ ... $19.99
An obscure bit of late 60s Stax! Steve Cropper's working away from the MG's here, in a mode that's slightly similar, but which has his guitar upfront in the mix on a batch of Memphis-style instrumentals – kind of his own take on the groove he was laying down with Booker T, but with a lot ...

Also available (Yellow label Volt pressing. Cover has some ring and edge wear, light aging, and stained spots with some wear at the top seam.)

Dramatics —
Devil Is Dope/
Volt, 1973. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Incredible work from The Dramatics! "Devil Is Dope" is this amazing slow funky track about a guy who goes to Hell – and it begins with this hard rumbling bass, and some great sound effects of flames buring the guy! "Hey You" is fantastic, too – and shows the group ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Dramatics —
Dramatic Experience ... LP Volt, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $24.99
Fantastic early work from The Dramatics – an amazing blend of sweet soul harmony vocals, Memphis soul production, and some other-worldly songwriting that far surpasses later work of the group. This album's one of the band's most righteous, with a mixture of Curtom-type message cuts and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original orange label pressing. Cover has light wear, some application bubbles in front, and half split bottom seam. Labels have small initials in marker.)
Dramatics —
In The Rain/Volt, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
2 great tracks from their Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get LP. "In The Rain" is a haunting harmony cut that sounds like it was lifted from the vaults of The Whatnauts, and "Good Soul Music" is a nice rollicking number with a good groove. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Dramatics —
Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ... LP Stax/Volt, 1971. Very Good Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
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 ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label Volt pressing. Cover has surface wear, light edge wear.)
Dramatics —
Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get/Volt, Early 70s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
"Whatcha See" is one of The Dramatics' best cuts ever! It's got a dope rolling groove, a hard righteous message, and a hook that just won't quit. The track's more than a bit funky, and it's one of those tunes that you've heard for years – and will smile upon catching again! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

Emotions —
Untouched ... LP Volt, 1972. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
A really classic album from The Emotions – much harder and grittier than their earlier singles from Chicago, and quite different than their later sounds in the Earth Wind & Fire generation! The style here is almost funk – and definitely gets pretty close on a few cuts – ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dictionary Of Soul - Complete & Unbelievable ... LP Volt, 1964. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
An album with a very fitting title – as the whole set is practically a dictionary of soul music, for anyone who needs an understanding of the genre! The cover alone tells you that the set is something special – and the sounds within are even better – classic Otis Redding on Stax ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono yellow label pressing with AT etch. Cover has some ringwear, edge wear, yellowing from age, and a small name in pen in back.)
Otis Redding —
Dock Of The Bay ... LP Volt, 1968. Good ... Just Sold Out!
A very important crossover soul album – a huge hit for Otis Redding that was released after his tragic death in December 1967 – but it's also hard to say if it would have had the impact it did had Redding not passed while the LP was still in production. In a way, the record sort of set ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Otis Blue – Otis Redding Sings Soul ... LP Volt, 1965. Very Good- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Otis Redding Sings Soul – plenty of truth in that – but on this sweet little set, he somehow does it even better than before! The album's got a tightness that's totally great – but it's light years from the smoother soul of Motown, and still has plenty of the gritty Memphis edges ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Otis Redding Live In Europe ... LP Volt, 1967. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A great little live set – recorded overseas, but with a really classic 60s southern soul sound overall! Stax always did a pretty good job of shopping its big artists overseas – where they met with extremely enthusiastic response, as you'll hear in this classic live album recorded by ...

Otis Redding —
Pain In My Heart ... LP Volt/Atco, 1964. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Otis Redding's greatest LPs! Unlike some of his others – which either had some filler, some gimmicks, or were collections of material released after his death – this one is a totally solid batch of southern soul tracks that ranks with some of the best work to come out of Memphis ...

(Scorpio reissue.)
Volt, 1969. Near Mint- ... $84.99 99.99
Standout solo work from Mavis Staples – a set that really expands the Stax sound nicely with a bit of strings to sweeten up the groove! Steve Cropper's at the production helm, and there's still enough grit in the grooves to remind us we're down in Memphis – but the choice of tunes and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
