4.0 out of 5 stars
The cream of Stax's chart crop,
By hyperbolium (Earth, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stax Number Ones (Audio CD)
It's hard to criticize a collection of stellar soul sides, but one has to wonder what market niche this fills. All fifteen of these tracks reached the top spot on either the Billboard pop or R&B chart, and represent the tip of Stax's immense impact on both the charts and popular culture. Presented in chronological order these tracks include iconic instrumentals, duets, and solo turns that literally defined southern R&B and hard soul. It's an ace collection of soul classics, but at only fifteen tracks it pales in comparison to the discount-priced double-CD Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration. For only a few dollars more the anniversary set gives you everything here except Rufus Thomas' "(Do the) Push and Pull (Part 1)" and Johnnie Taylor's "I Believe in You (You Believe in Me)," and thirty-five more gems. Tracks 1-4 and 7 are mono, the rest stereo, and all appear to be single edits rather than longer album versions. The ten-page booklet includes credits and pictures, but no liner notes. Everything here is great, but unless you're on a tight budget (or fifty soul classics is just too much for you to handle), the double-CD is the better bet. [©2010 hyperbolium dot com]

A great complilation of the who's-who from Stax records. Just look at what you get here.Green Onions Hold On I'm Coming Knock on Wood Soul Man (Sittin' On)The Dock of the Bay Who's Making Love I'll Take You There If You're Ready That's just my top tracks from the list of 15. For $5. I mean, seriously. If you can find at least 5 tracks you want to have on your DAP, get the whole album. The quality of the recording is very good. Standard variable-bit-rate MP3 copies. Sounds great digital-out.

Great selection of artists and tunes from the golden era of rhythm and blues. I would recommend this album without reservation to anyone with an interest in this style of music. Go ahead and get it, you won't be disappointed.
