On a Record Store Day years ago, I discovered Light in the Attic’s Never To Be Forgotten - The Flip Side of Stax 1968-1974 collection when all I had on my mind was The Pharcyde 20th anniversary box set.
I have a lot of respect for Light in the Attic releases and couldn’t resist their Stax/Volt collection.
Being familiar with up to 50% of the music in the collection, I decided to spring for it so I can enjoy spinning some sweet Stax/Volt soul singles on The Suite Delight show.
I had seen Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song days prior to Record Store Day and when I saw the Theme as one of the 7” in the collection, my decision was slightly swayed towards getting it.
The Emotions’ music, either on Stax or Columbia, is obviously a selling point for me. To have a 7” of Blind Alley to call and spin of my own was not easy to turn away from.

You knew he was ill? Ohhh. This death has devastated me.
Prior to his death, Booker T. was rumored to have been ill. I learned it was a member of his band, Dunn, that was ill and unfortunately passed not too long afterwards.
