The Spirit of Memphis 1962-1976 chronicles the ascension of one of the most influential and creative talents in music history, Isaac Hayes, who would have turned 75 this year. This 4CD collection examines the various avenues of Hayes'€™ prolific career, with each disc offering an in-depth look at his distinct musical contributions to both Memphis-based Stax Records and to the world at large, from his foundational presence as a songwriter and producer at Stax, to his artistic metamorphosis and subsequent rise to stardom.

The set also includes a wide range of previously-unreleased material, as well as a replica 7"€ vinyl single of the artist'€™s first commercially-released recordings. Housed in a 60-page hardcover book, the retrospective incorporates a wealth of archival photos and ephemera, as well as an essay by author Robert Gordon (Respect Yourself: Stax Records and the Soul Explosion) which includes new interviews with Stax luminaries Deanie Parker and Jim Stewart.
