Fantasy Records bought the assets of Stax out of
bankruptcy sometime after July, 1976. What Fantasy bought was all the post-Atlantic
material, and also the material recorded during the Atlantic period that had not
been previously released. Fantasy started with a 4100 series,
and later moved to an 8500 series for the issues. The 8500 series here runs to
1995, some years after LPs had been discontinued. Fantasy is still issuing Stax CDs.
