"WAIT A MINUTE" The Stax & Satellite Story 1959-1962 (mono)

There ain't nothing wrong with this CD. A collection of the earliest releases from the great Stax label (and its pre-Stax incarnation Satellite,) so no surprise there are a lot of great tracks to feature. What might be a little surprising would be the great Rockabilly of Don Willis' Boppin' High School Baby, and Warrior Sam, as well as the straight up Country of Hoyt Johnson's two tracks collected here. This is by and large a Rhythm & Blues and Southern Soul affair though, with the acts that laid the foundation for the Stax empire represented here in large portions. Which means fantastic tracks by Booker T & The M.G.'s, Rufus & Carla Thomas, William Bell, and The Mar-Kays, and not just the hits, many less compiled tracks by those artists are here as well and all sounding fantastic. Plus quality tracks by lesser known artists like Nick Charles, The Veltones, The Chips, Barbara Stevens, etc. (JM) (Roots & Rhythm)trax disc 1:
