Historię legendarnej wytwórni muzyki soulowej - Stax / Volt, można podzielić na dwie odrębne epoki: okres od 1959 roku do początku 1968 roku kiedy firma była dystrybuowana przez giganta Atlantic i rozwijała swoje charakterystyczne brzmienie i wizerunek; oraz na lata po rozstaniu się z potentatem - od maja 1968 roku do końca 1975 roku kiedy Stax rozpoczął na poważnie swoją transformację z małego, rodzinnego przedsiębiorstwa do korporacyjnej potęgi "muzyki duszy" z Memphis. Dziewięcio-płytowe wydawnictwo dotyczy tego drugiego okresu, lat 1968 - 1971 i zawiera wszystkie 216 singli soul wydanych w tym czasie przez Stax. Wśród utworów największe i najbardziej lubiane przeboje, a także wiele mało znanych klejnotów zarówno głównych gwiazd wytwórni, jak i mniej znanych artystów. Reedycja zawiera także pełnokolorową książeczkę z esejem autorstwa historyka Staxa - Roba Bowmana. Tracklista: CD 1 1. Shirley Walton - I Was Born To Love You 2. Isaac Hayes - Precious, Precious 3.
