Comment:

It took [i]28[/i] compact discs to hold all the singles Stax released between 1959 and 1975 . . . and that's just the [i]A-sides[/i]. Add to that the hundreds — maybe thousands — of monster album cuts, B-sides, previously unreleased vault finds, and other stray bits, and you've got a mighty mountain of musical greatness. While many of them were hits in their own right, even the ones that weren't sounded like they could've — no, make that [i]should've[/i] — been. From the snake-bite blues of Albert King to Black Nasty's bubbling cauldron of funk, from artists you [i]think[/i] you know, like Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, to artists you probably [i]don't[/i], like Wendy Rene and Rance Allen, we've cherry-picked the very best and put them all right at your fingertips.
