Holy Ghost/
Stax/Fantasy, 1978. Very Good ... $9.99
Earlier funk from The Bar-Kays – recorded back in the earlier part of the 70s when the group were recording for Stax, but issued here to cash in on the group's later fame on Mercury! The sound here is surprisingly like the group's later work – still in the heavy funk mode of their Stax ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

William Bell —
Bound To Happen ... LP Stax, 1969. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Killer work from William Bell – a record that has him really unfolding and growing at the end of the 60s – taking off with a new sort of energy that we hardly would have expected a few years before! The sound here is nicely deep and mature – still in a classic Memphis mode, but ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stax, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 23.99
Booker T's definitely getting a bit funky with this one – stepping off with the incredible title cut, a tune which really complicates the groove from the earlier years! The sound is still solid Memphis soul, with a raw instrumental vibe – but the grooves are even better than before, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stax, 1970. New Copy ... $11.99 12.98
One of the greatest albums ever from Booker T & The MGs – and very different than their early work!

Jammed Together ... LP Stax, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $34.99

Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ... LP Stax/Volt, 1971. 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 ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stax/Universal (Japan), 1976. Used ... $29.99
Hardly the disco set you might guess from the title – and instead, a surprisingly soulful gem from the post-Stax years of Isaac Hayes! There's certainly a bit of uptempo grooving in the mix – but, as on Ike's Polydor years, the approach is still handled with the deeper sounds that ... (Soul) read more CD

Stax/Craft, 1971. New Copy 2 CDs ... $22.99 24.99
A landmark album that hardly needs any introduction – as it's one of the most famous soundtracks, if not soul records, of the 70s!

Stax, 1973. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99
Weird album that came out in the early 70s, when Stax was getting their hands into so many other styles of music besides southern soul and funk. Margaret Singana's the lead vocalist of this group that plays in a sort of Afro Pop/Afro Funk style, and she lays down the lyrics on tracks like "The ...

Stax/Culture Factory (France), 1973. New Copy ... $8.99 9.98
A lasting 70s classic from Frederick Knight – easily his best-remembered album, thanks to the legendary title track!

Double Dynamite ... LP Stax, 1966. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Sublime early Stax work from Sam & Dave – the kind of record that forever changed the way the male voice was used in group soul music!
