Stax UK 45 RPM Records

Home | Albums | EPs
UK issues on 7" vinyl of titles from Stax
and related labels in the USA

Stax Records 45s were issued on a variety of labels in the UK. Starting in 1961 with the Decca distributed London 'Atlantic' label and going through two other Atlantic variations (black and red) before getting its own imprint in 1967. Sadly, the 'blue' series only lasted until 1968 when it was replaced by the new 'yellow' label following the split with Atlantic in the USA.

This list is provisional and has not been thoroughly checked by the author.
Please advise me of any inaccuracies or omissions.
There are two 10 disc box sets still to be added.
