The Fame Studios Story 1961-1973 is the lynchpin of Ace's extensive catalogue campaign spotlighting the recordings and artists associated with the Fame label and studio of Muscle Shoals, Alabama - home of the Muscle Shoals Sound, The 75-track, 3CD set comes complete with a thick, lavishly illustrated book and is an open-minded, celebratory overview of this world-famous institution's golden era, when under the stewardship of owner Rick Hall, Fame birthed countless recordings that have come to define Southern Soul music, Hall's idiosyncratic engineering and production technique, and the highlyregarded session crew he employed, resulted in an unprecedented run of hits, not to mention an equal amount of astoundingly soulful misses, This set is the fruit of two years' extensive research in the Fame vaults by the Ace team, with full access granted to this legendary tape and photo archive, The heavily illustrated package not only boasts over a dozen unissued tracks - including previously unheard rarities by Otis Redding and Arthur Alexander - but also comes laden with informative essays and extensive track notes, all based upon fresh interviews with many of the principals involved.
