‘Stax 7s Vinyl Box’ Joins Label’s Anniversary Celebrations
The ongoing celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the world-famous Stax Records will continue with the 8 September release of The Stax 7s Vinyl Box. The attractively-packaged set will contain seven 45rpm singles featuring 14 highly collectable rare groove tracks by well-known and underrated artists in the Stax family of labels.
Artists in the collection include such solo Stax figureheads as Johnnie Taylor and William Bell, female stars like Carla Thomas, Barbara Lewis and Margie Joseph and lesser-appreciated names including the Montclairs, Roz Ryan and Charlene & The Soul Serenaders. Liner notes for the upcoming release are by the set’s compiler, celebrated northern soul DJ and BBC presenter Richard Searling, and a digital download card is also included.
As part of the wider Stax celebrations, there’s a brand new lyric video for one of the label’s most enduring classics, the Staple Singers’ 1972 US soul and pop No. 1 ‘I’ll Take You There,’ which you can view below.
