Stax - The Stax Story - Volumes I & II
Ian MacDonald, NME, 28 June 1975
SINCE THE 32 tracks collected here were cut after the 1968 Stax/Atlantic split it would be unwise to take the over-all title of this two-record set too literally – but this matters little as The Stax Story is, first and foremost, an example of that rarest whim of record companies, The Informed Compilation.
