'Respect Yourself'; Get Up On Stax Records

"Stax Records replaced cotton as the biggest industry in Memphis, Tennessee!"
-Duck Dunn, Stax recording artist.

The above quote almost tells it all, but the Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story documentary offers a complete and searing look at one of America's most important record labels: the mighty Stax Records. If I should ever be so blessed to be in the position to acquire the Stax catalog, you can bet your bottom dollar, it's gonna be a stone cold hour when I get it...

I've been trying to increase my knowledge and standom of Stax. I've read a book on them and I'm currently reading another that goes more in depth. And that's in addition to compulsively listening to as much of the music as I can. It's good to see that you're as devoted a fan.

Any idea how I can get my hands on the documentary?
