Soul Box

Soul Box is the third studio album by American saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. The project was originally divided into two LPs with nearly identical covers, both released in 1973 on Kudu Records as Soul Box Vol. 1 (KU-12) and Soul Box Vol. 2 (KU-13). It was then reissued as a two-LP set (KUX-1213). Both albums were recorded in March 1973 with the same personnel.

As compact discs gained popularity, Motown reissued Soul Box Vol. 1 and Soul Box Vol. 2 on CD in the early 1990s. Unfortunately, Vol. 2 was mastered with the wrong track separation. Original tracks #1 and #2 were combined into a single track of 17 minutes, track #3 was cut as track #2, and track #4 was cut as track #3. Subsequently, a misprint on the CD and the disc's back cover listed only three tracks. The titles did not match the corresponding tracks, and the tunes' durations did not match those listed on the LP.

It took until 2008, when Verve/GRP Records released the two volumes on one CD, to correct the errors and ensure track separations and title durations corresponded to the original Kudu LPs.
