VA [2023] - Written In Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos [Craft Recordings] (Album Promo)


Released on Friday was a compilation of no fewer than 146 demos from the legendary Stax label. "Written In Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos" contains 140 tracks never previously released including songwriter demos of some of Stax biggest recordings (e.g. "634-5789 (Soulsville, USA)", "If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me)", "Woman to Woman" and “Respect Yourself"). The compilation is available digitally and as a set of 7 CDs.

The first three discs contain demos by the Stax songwriters that were recorded and released by Stax artists on one of the Stax family of labels (Stax, Volt, Enterprise, We Produce, Koko, Respect, etc.). 

The fourth disc contains demos by the Stax songwriters that were recorded and released on record labels OTHER than the Stax family of labels (Atlantic, Decca, Hi, Chimneyville, etc.). 

The final three discs contain demos by the Stax songwriters that were never released anywhere. Including songs from legendary songwriters such as William Bell, Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd, Bettye Crutcher and many more.

We couldn't possibly post the full set so have cherry picked some we consider the best. Your selections may differ so you can investigate the full compilation HERE.

Thanks to Yves Lambert for getting this one over.
