The 60th anniversary of the legendary soul label Stax Records commemorates its extraordinary legacy as an international hit-making machine and its indispensable chapter in American musical history as an integrated company in the heart of the Civil Rights movement.
The Stax 60 celebration will highlight the hits, deep cuts and rare tracks from the Memphis label’s heyday of the '60s and ‘70s, including the many legendary artists who jointly created the world-renown “Stax sound," - Otis Redding, Booker T & the MGs, Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Sam & Dave, The Dramatics and many more. The Stax 60 campaign will honor the music from Soulsville USA through curated collections, deluxe box sets, hiresolution audio, streaming playlists and unique vinyl initiatives.
The Stax Classics series is a 10-volume, cross-label collaboration between Concord Bicycle Music and Rhino Entertainment, who collectively control recordings from the label’s active years in the 1960s and 70s. These releases are part of an extensive 60th anniversary celebration of the iconic soul label, taking place throughout 2017. Each Stax Classics compilation celebrates some of the iconic soul label’s greatest stars, offering new liner notes, artists’ label discographies and 12 choice cuts from the artists’ Stax catalog. All are available at a wallet-friendly price!
This is some of the greatest music of our lifetime, and we're proud to help present to SoulTrackers the Stax Classics releases!
