Sam & Dave – The Best Of Sam & Dave (LP, Compilation, Repress, Stereo, Monarch Pressing, 1976, Atlantic SD 8218)

Why This Record Matters
This collection brings together the duo’s defining Stax-era hits, including “Hold On, I’m Comin’,” “Soul Man,” and “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby.” Sam & Dave’s gospel-rooted call-and-response soul helped carry their recordings from the R&B charts into mainstream pop.

Collector Note
This 1976 U.S. repress is on Atlantic SD 8218 and was pressed by Monarch, identified by the circled MR marks in the runouts. The Side B SRC logo and SP•MO notation indicate the Monarch pressing used Specialty metalwork.
