I'm all over this. Perhaps it'll make those Stax Singles box sets of old a little more complete. I hate having only the plug sides not to mention the fact that the subsidiary labels were incomplete or, in Hip's case, completely ignored.

I love this stuff. If I can find this under $50.00 I'll bite immediately. But it seems I am going to have to await awhile.
