Free Music Notes for Stax 50th: 50th Anniversary Celebration
Free Music Review: Fantastic Collection at an UNBELIEVABLE price
Hit: 5 Stars
I keep looking for the fine print. This is a collection of 50 amazing songs for $12 bux?
I would have paid $50 bux on itunes and I wouldn't have the insanely cool packaging and color book.
Every song on this collection is a smash. From Green Onions to Respect Yourself plus gems like Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, hello! Amazing stuff. I put this on, kicked back with the book and just enjoyed. When it was over, I put it on again.
This is perfect for parties, driving, dancing, hanging out .... it's a fantastic collection and I'm buying them for my friends. At $12 bux, I might buy a back up set just in case. I don't know if this is a promotional price but I'm psyched.
Free Music Review: Happy Anniversary Stax!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best bargains out there if you are into vintage rock and soul music. To start out, the packaging is great. The sound production is decent.
I can't speak authoritatively to the era. A lot of the music featured is from my early years that I am just re-discovering from hearing on transistor radios and turntables whose tone arms were weighted with the change you dug out of the couch to prevent the needle from skipping out of the groove and sliding across the vinyl.
This CD is definitely a fun blast from the past and well worth the price. It more than met my expectations and introduced me to some new (old) artists as well.
Free Music Review: Great Summary of the Output of the Best Soul Label Ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
If the hologram snapping fingers on the cover don't give any indication of the lively, funky, toe-tappin' Southern soul that Stax put out, you should put on this box set for an introduction. For a very affordable price, it covers most of the major hits from the biggest artists of the label, including Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Booker T. and the MG's, Sam and Dave, Johnnie Taylor, and Isaac Hayes, and includes songs by less famous acts that you'd be hard-pressed to find represented by an easily available compilation. Stax was the best soul label ever, grittier than Atlantic and Motown, and with an exuberant, passionate spirit that made it all its own.Free Music Review: Great music

The Stax 50th Anniversary collection is a great compilation of toe tapping, finger snapping fun music. This is a value, the disc come in a nice box with a several page book and the music remasters sound great. Music lovers don't get deals like this often, quality packaging and two discs full of timeless classics at a low price. I don't know what else to say because this music has been around longer than me, so I have no great insight. Those who are into Motown and classic R&B will certainly love this collection and anyone who loves music in general should give it a try.Free Music Review: Great value for the price

Stax Records was to Memphis and rhythm and blues what Chess Records was to Chicago and blues. This recently issued two-disc box set contains 50 seminal blues and R&B recordings. There isn't "filler" in the bunch, so for those on tight budgets who don't have money to blow on the larger boxed sets or discs by the individual artists, this set is the way to go. Stax has been acquired by the Concord Music Group and they've done a great job with this sampler, which can be appreciated by both new and long-time fans. The booklet that comes with the box set is very nicely done.
