1	The Very Best of Otis Redding, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Otis Redding The Very Best of Otis Redding wasn't the first Otis Redding compilation but it is the best of the single-disc collections, distilling the high points across his career (up thru the posthumous hits "(Sitting' On) The Dock of the Bay" and the heartbreaking "I've Got Dreams to Remember") in 16 tracks, every one a musical milestone and a soul music ... see all copies from $7.60! new only from $8.70!
2	Come Together: America Salutes the Beatles (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
3	Lady Soul (1968) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Appearing after a blockbuster debut and a sophomore set that was rather disappointing (in comparison), 1968's Lady Soul proved Aretha Franklin, the pop sensation, was no fluke. Her performances were more impassioned than on her debut, and the material just as strong, an inspired blend of covers and originals from the best songwriters in soul and ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $8.85!
4	I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967) more music like this by Aretha Franklin While the inclusion of "Respect" -- one of the truly seminal singles in pop history -- is in and of itself sufficient to earn I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You classic status, Aretha Franklin's Atlantic label debut is an indisputable masterpiece from start to finish. Much of the credit is due to producer Jerry Wexler, who finally unleashed ... see all copies from $3.91! new only from $7.03!
5	In the Christmas Spirit (1966) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's Booker T. and the MG's find the groove to come up with funky instrumentals of Yule classics "Jingle Bells," "Silver Bells," and the percolatin' "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Steve Cropper makes his guitar sing on the down 'n' bluesy "Merry Christmas Baby." Dennis MacDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.42! new only from $9.20!
6	The Very Best of Isaac Hayes (2007) more music like this by Isaac Hayes This is not a bad start, at least as far as single-disc representations of Isaac Hayes' Stax years are considered. The Very Best of Isaac Hayes contains many of the necessities -- his reinventions of "Walk on By," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and "Never Can Say Goodbye," alongside originals like "Theme from Shaft," "Do Your Thing," and "Joy, Pt ... see all copies from $7.56! new only from $10.00!
7	The Immortal Soul of Al Green (2004) more music like this by Al Green Al Green fans will be aware that The Immortal Soul of Al Green actually marks the second time that a four-CD box set of Green's recordings has been assembled, following by seven years its predecessor, Anthology. That being the case, the obvious question is, why do listeners need another Al Green box set? The answer lies in the two conflicting ... see all copies from $56.51! new only from $61.03!
8	Definitive Greatest Hits (2007) more music like this by Al Green Al Green's Greatest Hits was first released in 1975 and has gone through several incarnations since then. Each successive edition has improved on the one preceding it, and though it is a little irritating that Definitive Greatest Hits (despite a slightly different title, it is the latest variation) follows its predecessor by only a year-and-a-half ... see all copies from $13.14! new only from $16.51!
9	The Absolute Best (2004) more music like this by Al Green Colin Escott's informative, quote-filled liner essay for this two-disc compilation is called Al Green at Hi Records , and that may well have been a better title for the set than The Absolute Best. While it would be foolish to argue that Green's brilliant sides for Hi -- superbly produced by Willie Mitchell and featuring the impassioned and ... see all copies from $15.76! new only from $21.85!
10	Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration (2007) more music like this by Various Artists While it's true that this double-disc, 50-track mid-centennial anniversary celebration of the birth of Stax Records -- a label synonymous with Southern soul -- will not rival the three box sets issuing the company's complete singles, it's a killer document. Concord Records purchased the Stax catalog (which occurred when the company purchased ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
11 view cover	Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits [1985] (1985) more music like this by Wilson Pickett Wilson Pickett was one of the most consistently strong performers of the great soul era of the 1960's, but like most R&B artists of the period he was strongest in his singles, not his albums, and while he cut some fine long-players in his day, a quality compilation is still the best place to get started with The Wicked Pickett's raw but passionate ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $12.91!
12 view cover	The Very Best of Booker T. and the MG's [Stax] (2007) more music like this by Booker T. & The MG's It's impossible to imagine Southern soul existing at all without the powerful input of Booker T. & the MG's, one of the grittiest and most precise rhythm sections in the history of pop music. The MGs were the house band for Stax Records and its imprints Volt and Chalice, and played on virtually everything the label released, backing Otis Redding, ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
13 view cover	Al Green's Greatest Hits (1975) more music like this by Al Green Upon its original release in 1975, Al Green's Greatest Hits pretty much summed up everything about Green, containing his ten biggest hits up to that point. A few years later, it was followed by a second volume, which contained hit singles that had charted since the release of the first collection. In 1995, The Right Stuff reissued Al Green's ... see all copies from $2.20!
14 view cover	I'm Still in Love With You [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Al Green I'm Still in Love With You shares many surface similarities with its predecessor, Let's Stay Together: from Al Green and Willie Mitchell's distinctive, sexy, style to the pacing and song selection. Despite those shared traits, I'm Still in Love With You distinguishes itself with its suave, romantic tone and its subtly ambitious choice of material. ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
15 view cover	Stax Story (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The legendary Memphis soul label Stax's legacy is well-represented by this four-CD box set, which manages to do what many similar box retrospectives don't. That is to provide a well-balanced overview of a genre of music that mixes the essential hits with many noteworthy yet lesser-known singles and rarities, coming about as close as possible to ... see all copies from $45.29! new only from $45.29!
16 view cover	Unchained Melody (1995) more music like this by Al Green Like its companion piece Here I Am, CEMA Special Markets' budget-line collection Unchained Melody does a very nice job picking out highlights from Al Green's classic Hi recordings. Of course, Green was arguably the most consistent soul vocalist of the '70s -- you could pick any of his songs at random and come up with a very entertaining collection ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many ... see all copies from $83.69! new only from $85.66!
18 view cover	The Dock of the Bay (1968) more music like this by Otis Redding It was never supposed to be like this: "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" was supposed to mark a beginning of a new phase in Otis Redding's career, not an ending. Producer/guitarist Steve Cropper had a difficult task to perform in pulling together this album, the first of several posthumous releases issued by Stax/Volt in the wake of Otis Redding ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $7.74!
19 view cover	Call Me (1973) more music like this by Al Green Al Green reached his creative peak with the brilliant Call Me, the most inventive and assured album of his career. So silky and fluid as to sound almost effortless, Green's vocals revel in the lush strings and evocative horns of Willie Mitchell's superbly intimate production, barely rising above an angelic whisper for the gossamer "Have You Been ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
20 view cover	Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul (1966) more music like this by Otis Redding Otis Redding's third album, and his first fully realized album, presents his talent unfettered, his direction clear, and his confidence emboldened, with fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp. More than a quarter of this album is given over to Redding's versions of songs by Sam Cooke, his idol, who had died the ... see all copies from $4.17! new only from $5.00!
21 view cover	I'm in Love (1968) more music like this by Wilson Pickett Surely no one was expecting a "quiet storm" album from Wilson Pickett in 1968, and that sure isn't what they got with I'm in Love, but the Wicked Pickett sounds a lot more convincing on this album's romantic numbers than anyone would have had a right to expect from one of the baddest cats of Southern soul. Of course, there aren't all that many ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.46!
22 view cover	Knock on Wood (1967) more music like this by Eddie Floyd In contrast to the 1970s -- when artists ranging from Curtis Mayfield to Parliament/Funkadelic were praised for their albums -- singles defined soul music in the 1960s. It has often been pointed out that many Stax and Motown albums of the '60s had their share of filler -- nonetheless, others were full of gems that should have been released as ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
23 view cover	Livin' for You (1973) more music like this by Al Green Starting in 1971 with Al Green Gets Next to You, Al Green albums became necessities. Livin' for You is Green's sixth album, and the fourth to be certified gold. (Its predecessor, the classic Call Me, was still on the charts when this was released.) Each of Green's albums with Willie Mitchell are singular, with their own distinct style, and Livin' ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $10.79!
24 view cover	The Best of Bar-Kays (1993) more music like this by The Bar-Kays When the Bar-Kays joined Mercury Records in 1976, they shifted musical styles slightly, veering away from the goofy yet funky soul instrumentals that defined their Stax singles and concentrating on loose, wild funk driven by fat basslines and whining synthesizers. Mercury's The Best of Bar-Kays captures the majority of the highlights from their ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $10.07!
25 view cover	King & Queen (1967) more music like this by Otis Redding & Carla Thomas Otis Redding never recorded a lighter, more purely entertaining record than King & Queen, a collection of duets with Stax labelmate Carla Thomas. In all likelihood inspired by a series of popular duets recorded by Marvin Gaye -- indeed, "It Takes Two," Gaye's sublime collaboration with Kim Weston, is covered here -- the record serves no greater ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
