Memphis never really recovered from losing Stax. If you want to make music in the southern states of America these days you go to Atlanta. But maybe it wasn't all bad, there's a fair chance that Rick Dees' awful Disco Duck would have ended up on the legendary label - it is after all a Rufus Thomas groove badly executed. But the hangover continues and no major independent operation now runs from the city that created so much of America's popular music history.

For many years Stax was considered to be a label of parts, great in its Atlantic distributed blue period, less so in the finger clicking era. In the past decade or so Ace has nailed that lie, unearthing album after album of amazing soul, and four albums of rather tasty funk. Now BGP has now got in on the act, digging out the most appropriate cuts for today's rare funk scene and giving them a suitable stylish home together on Stax Of Funk.
