- Originally Released: 1993
- Label: Stax
Description by OLDIES.com:
As it evolved from down-home enterprise to corporate soul powerhouse, the Memphis-based Stax/Volt label forged an enormously influential sound and label identity in its quest to be "where everything is everything."
All 213 soul singles released by Stax/Volt in this period (1972-1975) are contained in Volume 3, which like the previous compilations features a panoply of big hits as well as a surprising number of undeservedly obscure gems.
Stax historian (and box co-producer) Rob Bowman tells the whole story in his 47,000-word essay. And the last word on the subject is: The Memphis Sound lives.
