I bought the original box bought many years back. Great set, I actually listen to this more than my Motown stuff.

I'm glad to see this reissued. I scored a copy in excellent condition this summer for $40.

Have the original - have been listening to it again recently - triggered by my recent purchase of the Booker T box. I hope Vol II and III get the repackage (I have a burn of II)

Never had the original, so I locked this in. I'll be curious to find out what the physical packaging will be -- I'm hoping it's more compact than the original.

I think they should expand this collection by including all of the B sides to the singles as well.

This is a great box set. I was working at Atlantic Records when it was released but since I wasn't in one of the so-called "creative" departments I couldn't get a free copy. They let us regular employees buy it for $45, which was a bargain then and now. I'll be curious to hear about the packaging of this new release. I love how hefty the original is.

There is a comp coming out later this month from Ace Records that includes some of the early Stax B sides that weren't included in this set. I have it pre-ordered.

I have the two subsequent box sets( 1968-1971) and (1971-1975) and they're all A-sides save for a few select singles. I would love to see the Stax singles given the full treatment like Hip-O-Select's Motown series.

The reissues of the 2nd and 3rd box sets in the last couple of years were in small size packaging, correct? The 1959-1968 is on a different label but I think it will also be small sized (CD brick-type). This would be a plus for me. Any confirmation of this?

Seth,
All of Rhino's repacks have been small-form, so it will most likely will be the case here too, but we'll have to wait for a packshot to be 100% certain.
