And y'know, I somehow missed the Stax set! I have some old Motown box set collections (NOT the complete singles series that's coming out currently, at least overseas (I keep reading about them in Mojo and uncut, but haven't seem 'em here)) and a series of Atlantic singles, but no Stax! Nice thought regarding Julie, but her current obsession? Abba! The Greatest Hits--over and over! And I have all the other CDs, but no, just that one, over and over ( I dig Abba the most as well, I should point out. They'd be in my top 10 bands somewhere, beleive it or not...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
