    This is a no-quibble five-star release and truly essential listening. [Oct 2025, p.120]

    The remastering gives both nights a welcome clarity while keeping the raw, club-floor immediacy intact. Heard back-to-back, these shows tell the story of a label that could bring the heat whether at home or under the bright lights of a major city.

    Some of the best moments involve lesser-known artists, such as The Mad Lads tearing through "Don't Have To Shop Around" and Wendy Rene Delivering a superlatively funky "Bar-B-Q". [Sep 2025, p.50]

    Stax Revue: Live in ’65! is almost like a preamble to the protest. It’s the sound of a match being struck before the whole thing blows, of trapped lightning about to escape its bottle. It’s electric.
