Uma das maiores lendas do soul, Isaac Hayes tem a sua trajetória pela gravadora Stax reunida em um box. A caixa vem com quatro discos e possui o título de The Spirit of Memphis (1962-1976).

As primeiras 26 faixas são produções de Hayes para outros artistas, incluindo nomes como Sam & Dave e Carla Thomas. O terceiro CD traz 30 faixas de Hayes, e o quarto vem com jams do músico com os Bar-Kays, banda residente do selo.

O box chega ao mercado dia 22 de setembro com um livreto de capa dura com 60 páginas e com uma réplica do compacto de 7 polegadas lançado por Isaac Hayes em 1964 com “Laura, We’re on Our Last Go-Round” e “C.C. Rider”.
