John Scott's Staff Pick: May 7, 2026

What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone is having a nice week. I’m sure most of you are aware Record Store Day was a couple weeks ago. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s always some cool titles that are released. I know there was a bunch of stuff this year that caught my eye, but I had to limit myself. One record I did pick up though is this awesome compilation from Stax: Killer B’s – 14 Fabulous Flip Sides, which if you can guess from the title, is a bunch of old B-Sides from past Stax releases. Just banger after banger on this compilation featuring artists like The Bar-kays, Booker T. & The M.G.’s, Little Sonny, Margie Joseph and a whole bunch more. The pressing seems loud and punchy, which is nice. My only complaint is there’s no inner or anything with descriptions of the songs, just a tracklist on the back of the jacket that has some credits and the original release dates. Every song on here is great, but I’m partial to the Booker T instrumental Soul Clap ’69 and the Eddie Floyd track Consider Me. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a Stax fan.
