Stax

Описание: Stax Records is synonymous with Southern soul music. Originally known as [l=Satellite (2)], the Memphis company was founded in 1959 by Jim [b]St[/b]ewart and his sister, Estelle [b]Ax[/b]ton, and took its new name in 1961 from the first two letters of their last names. Among the many artists who scored hits on Stax and its [l=Volt] subsidiary during the Sixties were [a=Rufus Thomas] and his daughter [a=Carla Thomas], [a=Booker T. And the M.G.'s] (an inter-racial instrumental quartet that also served as the label's rhythm section), [a=Mable John], [a=Sam And Dave], [a=Johnnie Taylor], [a=Albert King], [a=Bar-Kays, The] and [a=Otis Redding]. Redding's death in December 1967 signaled the end of the first Stax era (which [l=Atlantic] distributed and retains distribution rights). Subsequently the company spawned a new crop of hitmakers, among them [a=Isaac Hayes], the [a=Staples Singers], the [a=Soul Children], The [a=Emotions], the [a=Rance Allen Group], [a=Shirley Brown], [a=Luther Ingram] and the [a=Dramatics]. The company was sold to Paramount Pictures in 1968 (only to be sold back to Jim Stewart in 1972). It then entered a distribution deal with [l=Columbia Records], only to find out that it was given a raw deal with more Stax product ending up as cut-outs and intentionally given poor marketing and distribution support. Stax was in deep financial trouble with various creditors (particularly the Union Planters Bank in Memphis, from whom Stewart borrowed money to start the company and eventually mortgaged the converted movie theater that was the Stax headquarters) and collapsed, going bankrupt in 1975. A year and a half later in June 1977, the company's masters and related assets were purchased at auction by [l=Fantasy], Inc., which periodically revived the Stax and Volt labels for new recordings and reissuing older post-1967 material in addition to releasing previously unreleased pre-March 1968 Stax/Volt recordings, to which it controls the rights. 1n 2008, [l=Concord Music Group] revived Stax as an active label with new artist signings including [a=Jill Scott], [a=Leela James] and [a=Nikka Costa]. Labelcode: LC 00914 Dating Stax Records [b]Atlantic distribution:[/b] 1962-1968 (701-726) Mono labels are light blue and stereo labels are yellow. Both have the original stacked record logo.

The vinyl pressings were actually manufactured in France with 4 prong centers but this was officially a UK release and the specially designed Stax company sleeves were British with the distributor's London address details on the back of the sleeve along with information of all the other 19 releases and expected release dates. Copyright dates of the original issues are retained on the labels. Most, if not all, have different B sides to the original issues. Further pointers : Rondor Music credits - Rondor did not aquire the publishing rights to the East Memphis Music catalogue until sometime in 1981 so any credits for Rondor Music on labels or sleeves mean the release cannot date from earlier.
