In 1965 in the face of social unrest, legendary Memphis record label Stax Records put on two pulsating shows at the 5-4 Ballroom in Los Angeles, featuring Rufus Thomas, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, William Bell, Carla Thomas, Wilson Pickett and more. 60 years later, these recordings, newly mastered by Joe Tarantino, with lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl, have been collected with a bonus set of performances recorded at Club Paradise, Memphis that same year, to form Stax Revue – Live in '65! Featuring 18 live performances on two LPs, six previously unreleased.
