The Staple Singers

This limited edition 4-CD box set features The Staple Singers' hits alongside favorite studio and live recordings, plus a handful of never-before-released rarities, including a special bonus: the earliest known recordings of the group on a 7-inch vinyl record, marking the first time that these two tracks have been available in any format since the Staples' self-released edition of 500 in 1953.  The box is packaged in a deluxe, old-school '45 folio' package, and also contains a book with new liner notes by Mavis Staples, James Miller, Opal Louis Nations, and compilation producer Joe McEwen, as well as rarely seen photos of the family band taken over the course of their career.
