The label that introduced me to Soul Music, in August 1968.

Always was and always will be my favourite stable.

The Real Deal.

Far too many awesome tracks to mention, but, seeing as Paul showed you the labels, I oughta let you hear the track.

Pin back your ears for a slice of Stax Soul Perfection!

I showed you mine but lets not talk about that on here. I'm sure mine are different but could have been pressed on west or east coast i suppose.one of mine is printed all red with no hand symbol and the other has red on it not all black like the one you have.

Great record though

Not a foreign one Martin, it's my US demo - didn't I show it you once before? :yes:

Like in March 2006.... :D
