We are shipping again, but there is a large backlog, and a couple of other factors causing delays. You may order anything that’s in stock–if the page shows that it’s in stock that means we have it on the shelf, but we may not be able to ship it immediately.

Mavis Staples’ gospel power, Pops Staples’ mellow voice, the Muscle Shoals Rhythm section laying down the funk groove (with the help of the Memphis Horns and a Moog synthesizer) and Al Bell producing – what more could one ask for? A Stax classic from the peak of the soul era, this 1972 release delivered three top 10 R&B hits, with I’ll Take You There shooting to the top of the charts and Respect Yourself holding position number two. Recorded in part at the ex-casket factory at Muscle Shoals studio on an MCI 16 track with overdubs done on a 16 track 3M M56, this album defines the soul of the 70’s.
