Its unique blend of immaculately arranged grooves and socially conscious narrative launched the album into cult-classic status among DJs and producers who have sampled it, most recently by Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Digable Planets, Dr. Dre, and many others.\n\nReleased as part of Craft Recordings' Made In Memphis series.\n\nIncludes\n- 180-gram vinyl cut at Ardent studios on the original Stax lathe and pressed at Memphis Record Pressing.\n- Old-school style tip-on jacket with printed inner sleeve.\n- New liner notes by Rob Bowman, Grammy® Award-winning author of “Soulsville U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records.”\n\nSpelling error on track listing on rear of cover.
