The Other Side Of The Trax - Stax Volt 45 rpm Rarities 1964-1968

Still catching up with the last few weeks releases, today the focus falls back on Kent with this Stax related most recent release.

The Other Side Of The Trax - Stax-Volt 45 rpm Rarities 1964-1968  CDTOP 442 

This comp features 24 Stax/Volt b-side tracks from 1964-1968. The release notes (see link below) informs us that this is the first time out on cd for all the 24 and for most the first time seen the light of day since the initial single release back when. Source wise all it seems are from the original singles mono masters apart from Johnny Tailor's opener which is offered up here via a new stereo mix 

Initial reaction appears to be strong with a fair few 5 star reviews being given on amazon already (see link below)
