1	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 $13.10! new only from $13.10!
2	The Best of William Bell (1988) more music like this by William Bell The Best of William Bell focuses on the singer's output from 1968-1974, covering the albums Duets, Bound to Happen, Wow..., Phases of Reality, and Relating. While his 1967 debut, The Soul of a Bell, may be his finest album, this collection compiles many of the highlights that followed, including his exquisite 1968 single "I Forgot to Be Your Lover ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
3	Greatest Hits: Collectors Edition (2002) more music like this by William Bell A woefully underappreciated soul singer, William Bell, often in collaboration with Booker T. Jones (of MG's fame), wrote some stone cold country-soul classics, including "You Don't Miss Your Water," a hit for Bell in 1961, and "Born Under a Bad Sign," which became the theme song for blues giant Albert King after his version was released in 1967. ... see all copies from $14.30! new only from $14.30!
4	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 $38.90! new only from $38.90!
5	The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The first Stax-Volt box was a monolith, standing as the definitive document of the labels and, therefore, gritty Southern soul. Its sequel, The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 is considerably more problematic. Covering only four years compared to its predecessor, which showcased nine years, Vol. 2 contains 216 tracks, including ... see all copies from $107.36! new only from $107.36!
6	The Very Best of William Bell (2007) more music like this by William Bell William Bell is probably the most woefully underappreciated artist in the Stax Records stable. Primarily a ballad singer, Bell avoided the charismatic stage histrionics of singers like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett in favor of a more subtle and melodic approach. He was also a gifted songwriter, penning in conjunction with his writing partner ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
7	Stax Gold (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Here are 15 reasons why Stax remains one of the great R&B/soul labels of the 1960s. Big ticket items aboard include Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft," Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness," Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Making Love," Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," the Dramatics' "What You See Is What You Get," and Booker T. and the MGs' "Time Is Tight. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Bedtime Stories (1992) more music like this by William Bell see all copies from $5.97!
9	Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by William Bell William Bell's gentlemanly, deep soul sound, like fine wine, gets better with age. The 11 cuts include re-recordings of some of his Stax Records hits. His marvelous duet with Judy Clay, "Private Number," remains a crown jewel in his discography, and the new version is just as playful. Bell proves he still has strong pipes on the stately "I Need ... see all copies from $12.06!
10	Golden Hits (1996) more music like this by The Spencer Davis Group Intercontinental's Golden Hits is a budget-priced collection of re-recordings of such hits as "Blood Runs Hot," "I'm A Man," "It Must Be Love" and "Such a Good Woman." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
11 view cover	Simply Supreme (1997) more music like this by The Supremes Buyer beware: These are not Motown sides but Ian Levine's productions on the Supremes. It's impossible to discern exactly who's singing on each cut because Levine used five former members of the Supremes in various combinations. If it's any solace, Levine did a better job producing the Supremes than many of the other ex-Motown artists he coaxed ... see all copies from $7.99!
12 view cover	Stax: Top of the Stax, Vol. 2: Twenty Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This second entry into Stax's greatest hits rounds up another 20 greats that first saw life as singles on the Stax, Volt, Enterprise, We Produce, and Satellite labels. With the exception of Otis Redding's "Respect," the Bar-Kays' "Soul Finger," William Bell's "You Don't Miss Your Water," and the Mar-Keys' "Last Night," all the material compiled ... see all copies from $13.40! new only from $13.40!
13 view cover	60's Generation (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.94!
14 view cover	Mardi Gras With Sammy O'Banion (2003) more music like this by Sammy O'Banion see all copies from $14.45! new only from $14.45!
15	Ocean Drive, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.94!
16 view cover	Memphis Soul Classics (1987) more music like this by Various Artists Memphis Soul Classics doesn't include the absolute best of Stax/Volt Records, but the tracks included are close to the top. Present are songs by Sam & Dave ("I Thank You"), Otis Redding ("Try a Little Tenderness"), Booker T. & the MG's ("Time Is Tight"), the Box Tops ("Soul Deep"), Wilson Pickett ("634-5789") and the Bar-Kays ("Soul Finger"). ... see all copies from $4.29!
17 view cover	Stax 50th Collection (2008) more music like this by Various Artists Madacy forgoes their usual bottom-of-the-barrel reissues in favor of this three-disc set of "nothing but the hits" classics from Stax. There are 52 cuts from all over the Stax historical rainbow, ranging from obvious hits like Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" to less obvious but equally fine selections like the Mad Lads' version ... see all copies from $16.16! new only from $16.16!
18 view cover	Soul Men: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2008) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The release of the musical comedy Soul Men is a bittersweet moment in cinematic history. It marks the final film project of both Bernie Mac, one of the film's co-leads (with Samuel L. Jackson) and Isaac Hayes, who contributed a track to this soundtrack album. They both passed away within days of one another after the film wrapped. The soundtrack ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
19	Gold Soul (1970) more music like this by Various Artists A misleading title, since only a few of these 13 tracks went gold, and a couple are downright weak. David Porter's "Can't See You When I Want To" simply takes up space. Mavis Staples' "A House Is Not a Home" fails to excite, and besides, the song has been redone to death. However, "I Like What You're Doing to Me," by Carla Thomas, and the Emotions ... see all copies from $18.00!
