In 1964, The Staple Singers signed with Epic Records after leaving jazz/blues/folk label Riverside Records. From then until the middle of 1968, they recorded six albums for the label, all of which are featured in this three-disc box set. Three of these classic albums - Pray On, For What It'€™s Worth and What the World Needs Now is Love - are making their CD debut, and this now makes virtually all of their recorded work available on CD.

During the years with Epic, The Staple Singers' sound developed into the soul/folk sub-genre that came to a commercial peak at Stax Records during the 1970s. This 66-track box set is the first-ever retrospective of their Epic years and features songs by Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, Burt Bacharach and Hal David as well as numerous original compositions by Pop Staples. His original song, Why (Am I Treated So Bad), has become a soul standard.
