August 23, 2007Stax Readies 'Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story' DVD for October 2 ReleasePress release
Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story aired this summer on PBS’ Great Performances, earning raves from the media. Now, in its 50th anniversary year, Stax Records, reactivated by Concord Music Group, will release the DVD version of the documentary on October 2, 2007. It is available in the Anamorphic Widescreen format. Respect Yourself was directed by the Grammy®-nominated team of Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville and is a production of Tremolo Productions, Concord Music Group and Thirteen/WNET New York. Samuel L. Jackson narrated the 113-minute documentary, which contains interviews with Isaac Hayes, Mavis Staples, Carla Thomas, Sam Moore, Booker T. Jones, Eddie Floyd and Jesse Jackson. Also featured are rarely seen full-length performances by Otis Redding, Booker T & the MGs and Isaac Hayes, plus outtakes of footage from the legendary 1972 Wattstax concert. Included also is the first interview by Stax founder and co-owner Jim Stewart in 15 years, plus never-before-seen home movies and performances by Stax artists. Respect Yourself provides first-hand accounts of what really happened on the streets and behind studio doors from the Stax musicians as well as label president Al Bell, Rev. Jesse Jackson and others. With rare performances, unreleased home movies and new recordings, filmmakers Gordon and Neville (The Emmy Award-winning Hank Williams: Honky Tony Blues) present the first comprehensive look at Stax Records, the greatest soul label of all time. “Respect Yourself explains why the studio's legacy matters. It is both a celebration and a cautionary tale,” wrote the Los Angeles Times. Echoed Daily Variety: “Without making a direct declaration, Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville's bracingly impressive docu Respect Yourself makes a great case for Stax Records as the greatest soul label ever.” And The New York Times added: “The documentary provides an essential account of auteurism in one of American music’s greatest eras.” Chapters:
