Stax Records built its legacy on iconic soul A-sides (placing over 167 hits on Billboard’s Hot 100 and an astonishing 243 tracks on the R&B Top 10), but many of its B-sides are just as powerful.

Stax: Killer B’s, a brand-new compilation, allows fans to experience a different side of Stax through 14 rare B-sides that deserve their moment in the sun. The collection opens with The Bar Kays’ supremely funky “A.J. the House Fly,” originally paired with their 1969 cover of “Midnight Cowboy.” Another standout instrumental is Booker T. and The M.G.’s’ chilled-out “Soul Clap ’69,” originally the flip side of their cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson.” Johnnie Taylor’s smooth-as-silk “Love in the Streets (Ain’t Good as the Love at Home)” complemented his 1971 A-Side, “Hijackin’ Love.”

Additional highlights include The Soul Children’s powerful “Poem on the School House Door” (off 1973’s “Love Is a Hurtin’ Thing”), Eddie Floyd’s emotive 1969 ballad, “Consider Me,” (“Don't Tell Your Mama (Where You've Been),” and Inez Foxx’s deliciously infectious “One Woman Man” (1973’s “This Time”).
