 If one is to examine Stax Records
Stax (at this time still known as Satellite Records) recorded and released its first single off the label in the summer of 1958 in an old storehouse that Jim had turned into a makeshift recording studio using an Ampex Monaural recorder in Brunswick, Tennessee.
Stax had to endure not only the deaths of Otis Redding and Martin Luther King, two clear symbols of hope, but the almost simultaneous sale of Atlantic Records, an event which proved every bit as traumatic in the life of the record company and very nearly put Stax out of business as well.
The Stax sound changed radically after this release due to the use of outside musicians, producers, writers and technicians, and the company no longer focused only on the gospel and rhythm and blues-based soul that categorized the music the company produced during the 1960s.
