VA - The Other Side Of The Trax Stax-volt 45rpm Rarities 1964-1968 [2016]
Kent kicks off 2016 with a special project that will gladden the hearts of all lovers of Memphis soul and, in particular, those who collect the recordings made at McLemore Avenue, the home of Stax Records. 'The Other Side Of The Trax' brings together 24 Stax single sides from the 'Blue' era never on CD before - and that, in most if not all cases, have not been available on vinyl since their appearance on 45 half a century ago. Most of Stax's top names of the era are featured at least once, with repertoire every bit as good as anything else they cut. Almost all the tracks are taken from Stax's original production masters, apart from Johnnie Taylor's Northern Soul favourite 'Changes' which makes both its CD and stereo debut here. (Amazon)

VA - More From The Other Side Of The Trax, 45rpm Rarities 1960-1968  [2017]
UK collection. To commemorate the 50th anniversary the ground-breaking Hit The Road Stax tour of the UK and Europe, Kent is delighted to bring you a second volume of previously un-reissued Stax recordings from the company's "blue" era (1960-68). Our first volume from The Other Side Of The Trax was originally intended to be a standalone project with no follow-up. Strong demand for more of the same - plus the fact that there were still many Stax masters to choose from - made the compilation of a second volume something of a formality. These may have been b-sides originally, but there's nothing remotely inferior about any of the chosen tracks - indeed, most could just as easily have been A-sides. Many of the biggest names ever to appear on Stax are featured - several of whom toured the UK and Europe on numerous occasions over the years - as well as one or two of the most obscure. All of the tracks are taken from original singles masters apart from one that had to be dubbed from disc due to the deterioration of the original tape. Given that none of these tracks has ever been available on anything other than the original 45s, we are anticipating that More From The Other Side Of The Trax will enjoy the same healthy sales and acclaim it's predecessor did.

These Stax collections are phenomenal. It's hard to find a bad song on any of them. If you're a fan of the Stax sound then this is just another collection of great songs to lay back with. Some great hard-to-find gems and all are good quality.
