Description by OLDIES.com:
The story of the great Memphis soul label, Stax/Volt, can be divided into two distinct eras: the period from 1959 through the beginning of 1968, when the company was distributed by Atlantic and was developing its influential sound and image; and the post-Atlantic years, from May 1968 through the end of 1975, when Stax/Volt began in earnest its transition from a small, down-home enterprise to a corporate soul powerhouse.
This 9-disc box concerns itself with the period between 1968 and 1971 and contains all 216 soul singles issued by Stax/Volt during that time: featured are some of the biggest and best-loved hits of the day, as well as a number of little-known gems by both major and less familiar artists.
