Various Artists - Stax Revue: Live in '65! - LP

Double Vinyl LP — Historic 1965 Live Performances, Newly Mastered

In 1965, in the face of social unrest, the legendary Memphis record label Stax put on two pulsating shows at the 5-4 Ballroom in Los Angeles, featuring Rufus Thomas, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, William Bell, Carla Thomas, Wilson Pickett and more. Sixty years later, these recordings — newly mastered by Joe Tarantino with lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl — have been collected with a bonus set of performances recorded at Club Paradise, Memphis that same year. The result is Stax Revue – Live in '65!, featuring 18 live performances on two LPs, six previously unreleased.
