Stax Records UK Logos
Just one of the best record companies ever!

Brother and sister, Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton started in 1957 with the Satellite record label initially issuing country based rock 'n' roll songs. After a few false starts, they finally made it with Rufus Thomas and his daughter Carla and this set the new style of the company. After the national success of 'Last Night' by The Mar-Keys they were forced into a name change and Stax Records was born.

There are plenty of other sites dedicated to Stax in the USA. Here, we concentrate on material that was issued in the UK and - to some extent - the rest of the world.
