All LPs have been cut from their original analog tapes by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl and manufactured at Memphis Record Pressing. These reissues are part of a yearlong celebration of Stax, and of the 50th anniversary of the legendary label’s “Soul Explosion” – an era of rebuilding following its separation from Atlantic Records. During this period, the newly independent label not only signed fresh, emerging talent but also released an impressive collection of 27 albums and 30 singles in just a handful of months. Released in 1969, The Bar-Kays’ Gotta Groove marked a triumphant return by a band reeling from tragedy. Formed in 1966, The Bar-Kays enjoyed success as session musicians at Stax, and soon became the backing group for Otis Redding. In 1967, they released an instrumental debut, Soul Finger, and scored a hit with the title track. Just months later, however, the group’s momentum was cut short, when four members of the band were killed in a plane crash, along with Redding. Channeling their heartbreak, surviving members Ben Cauley and James Alexander rebuilt The Bar-Kays with new musicians, and by 1969 they were back in the studio working with artists like Isaac Hayes. Gotta Groove was their first release with the new members and it stands as a testament to their resilience and talent. AllMusic calls Gotta Groove, “A celebration of life and music that ranks among the funkiest, hardest-driving LPs ever released under the Stax aegis.” Highlights of the album, which makes its return to vinyl after 40 years, include the psychedelic grooves of two-part song “Don’t Stop Dancing (To the Music),” the jazz-tinged soul of Marvin Gaye cover, “If This World Were Mine,” and instrumental renditions of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” and “Hey Jude.” Artist Bar-kays, The Genre Soul / Funk Label UMC Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Don't Stop Dancing (To The Music) (Part I) If This World Were Mine In The Hole Funky Thang Jiving Round Grab This Thing Don't Stop Dancing (To The Music) (Part II) Street Walker Yesterday Humpin' Hey Jude Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Soul / Funk View Product Quick View Baby Huey The Baby Huey Story Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th April 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Baby Huey The Baby Huey Story £19.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1639 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Zhané Pronounced Jah-Nay Soul / Funk | UMC | 180g, 2LP Released 15th February 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Zhané Pronounced Jah-Nay £24.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: UMC SKU: 7702234 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 15th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sam & Dave Soul Men Soul / Funk | Stax | 1LP Released 9th June 2017 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sam & Dave Soul Men £27.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Stax SKU: AATL725 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Boney M The Magic of Boney M Soul / Funk | Sony | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th March 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Boney M The Magic of Boney M £25.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sony SKU: 19439934431 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tasha Taylor Honey For The Biscuit Soul / Funk | Ruf Records | 1LP Released 29th July 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tasha Taylor Honey For The Biscuit £22.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Ruf Records SKU: RUF2025 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Macy Gray On How Life Is Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Includes Insert Released 27th September 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Macy Gray On How Life Is £21.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP767 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Eccentric Soul: The Nickel & Penny Labels Soul / Funk | Numero Group | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 21st December 2011 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Eccentric Soul: The Nickel & Penny Labels £21.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Numero Group SKU: NUM039 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 21st December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Judi Jackson Grace Soul / Funk | Columbia | 1LP Released 18th February 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Judi Jackson Grace £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Columbia SKU: 19439829601 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kurt Elling SuperBlue: Guilty Pleasures (featuring Nate Smith) Soul / Funk | Edition Records | 1LP Released 6th October 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kurt Elling SuperBlue: Guilty Pleasures (featuring Nate Smith) £18.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Edition Records SKU: EDNLP1223 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The World Of Northern Soul Soul / Funk | Decca | 180g, 1LP Released 20th December 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The World Of Northern Soul £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Decca SKU: 831295 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Soul / Funk Start again
