Written In Their Soul Stax (box 7 Cd)

WRITTEN IN THEIR SOUL: The Stax Songwriter Demos riunisce 146 demo provenienti dal caveau dell’iconica etichetta Stax Records, che mettono in bella mostra lo straordinario talento compositivo di tanti, tanti artisti. Includendo 140 tracce che non sono mai state ascoltate prima, questa raccolta combina sia demo di cantautori che, in alcuni casi, arrangiamenti completi (ma in seguito non pubblicati) in un set di 7 CD. I primi tre dischi contengono demo di songwriter Stax all’epoca registrati (e in seguito pubblicati in versione definitiva) da artisti Stax su una delle etichette della famiglia (Stax, ma anche Volt, Enterprise, We Produce, Koko, Respect, ecc.). Il quarto disco contiene demo dei cantautori Stax che sono stati registrati e in seguito pubblicati su etichette discografiche ALTRE (Atlantic, Decca, Hi, Chimneyville, ecc.). Gli ultimi tre dischi contengono demo di canzoni composte da songwriter della Stax in seguito mai pubblicate. Nel ricco cofanetto troviamo così cantautori leggendari come William Bell, Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd, Bettye Crutcher e molti altri, con versioni inedite di alcune delle canzoni più famose del Soul.
