The Stax label is celebrating, not least with the Soul Explosion 50th anniversary vinyl reissue.

Yes, 50 years since this album, a defining hits collection from the Stax label, first appeared on the shelves. In fact, it was the only time it appeared on the shelves as Soul Explosion has never been reissued until now.

It returns as a 2-LP collection in a double gatefold sleeve, featuring many of the songs that defined the label. Yes, you might well have a good number (if not all) already in your collection. But you might still want this collection amongst it.

The tracks on the vinyl reissue are below and if you want to pre-order it, the album doesn’t come cheap at £33.86.
