Description: (Est. 1957, includes Volt Records and other subsidiary labels) Stax Records is synonymous with Southern soul music. Originally known as Satellite, the Memphis company was founded in 1957 by Jim Stewart and co-owned with his sister, Estelle Axton, and took its new name in 1961 from the first two letters of their last names. Among the many artists who scored hits on Stax and its Volt subsidiary during the Sixties were Rufus and Carla Thomas, Booker T. & the MGs (an interracial instrumental quartet that also served as the company’s rhythm section and house band), Sam and Dave, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, and Otis Redding. Redding’s death in 1967 signaled the end of the first Stax era (to which Atlantic retains distribution rights).
Description: Alexander Lissiansky is the Engineer who invented the VoiceOGraph. On Dec. 31, 1940, Lissiansky, on behalf of Mutoscope, filed a US patent application to what we know as the VoiceOGraph. The manual for this first model is dated 1941, and the earliest surviving metal record is dated Feb. 1, 1941, perhaps dating the commercial introduction of the Voice-O-Graph in the US. The 1941 model included a walk-up configuration with a curtain. The microphone was a telephone handset, as it was in the Registon.
