William Bell —
Relating ... LP 
Stax, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great return to basics for William Bell – and an album recorded with a warm, intimate quality that we really love! The vibe here is almost in the style of some of the growing Malaco work coming out of the Jackson scene – with a sound that's smooth, but somehow even more deeply ...

(Yellow label stereo pressing.)
Stax, 1967. Very Good ... $19.99
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!

(Original yellow label stereo pressing. Cover has a small cutout hole.)
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!

A rare European-only collection of work by Booker T & The MGs – and one that features a fair bit of live material, too – 7 of the album's 12 tracks – which almost makes the whole thing stand out like some obscure live record from the group! There's a definite sense of sear to ... (Soul) read more CD
Booker T & The MGs —
Very Best Of Booker T & The MGs ... CD Rhino/Stax, 1960s. Used ... $3.99
What can we say? Booker T and crew are always tops in our book – and this album's as strong a batch of their classic singles as you'll ever find! Book's organ is the sound of a generation, and Steve Cropper's sinister vamping on guitar gives even the poppier tracks a hard edge that still ... (Soul) read more CD

Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ... LP Stax/Volt, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 21.99
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, 1977. Very Good+ ... $19.99
"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.

(Red label pressing in a Stax sleeve, with a cutout hole.)
Stax, 1969/1971. New Copy ... $11.99 12.98
2 early classics by The Emotions – back to back on one CD! So I Can Love You is much rootsier than their later hit recordings at Columbia, with a raw soul groove that reaches back to the girls' roots as an indie soul act. This one's got arrangements by Isaac Hayes that work perfectly for ... (Soul) read more CD
Eddie Floyd —
Baby Lay Your Head Down (Gently On My Bed) ... LP Stax, 1973. Near Mint- ... $14.99

Stax, Late 60s/Early 70s. Used ... $4.99

Warrior ... LP Stax, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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.

Plenty of blues power here – a searing live set recorded by Albert King before a very enthusiastic crowd at the Fillmore in the late 60s!

A lasting 70s classic from Frederick Knight – easily his best-remembered album, thanks to the legendary title track!

A great bit of Memphis funk from the 70s!

A tremendously great album on Stax – even if it's by a non-Memphis group, and one of the few rock albums issued by the label!
