	Stax Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stax Records was a Memphis, Tennessee based record label that existed from 1959 to 1976.
		The first successful artists recorded by Satellite were vocalists Rufus and Carla Thomas, a father-daughter duo whose work attracted Atlantic Records, with whom Stewart made a contract giving ownership of master tapes and first choice on releasing recordings.
		Fantasy Records bought the post-Atlantic (post-May 1968) Stax recordings and continued to repackage and rerelease the Stax catalogue.

	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.
		Stax Records bankruptcy was the signal of the end of an era, some call it a phenomenon that can never be repeated.

	Stax Records
		Stax Records was the creation of brother and sister, Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton.
		Estelle took out a $2500 on her house and they began a record label they called Satellite (probably because Sputnik, the Russians' first earth satellite, was launched in October, 1957, and dominated the news).
		When the recording session for Jenkins turned into a disaster, they used the last half hour of studio time to record Jenkin's 21 year old driver, Otis Redding.

	If one is to examine Stax Records
		If one is to examine Stax Records, in order to understand the message and the music that defined Stax it only seems appropriate to create a working definition of Southern soul music.
		And in the spirit of rhythm and blues, soul was another way to transcend the burden of life and the everyday, and for this reason, it is understandable that many of the producers, writers, musicians, and engineers were “white partners contributing as significantly as [their] more prominent—more visible certainly—fl associate[s]”.
		In this way, Stax Records and the message and sound that the company represented was always in step with the developments of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
