The Best Of The Box Tops
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1976 Repress in shrink. Released in 1996, "The Best of the Box Tops: Soul Deep" is a compilation album that captures the definitive sound of the Memphis-based pop rock group, The Box Tops. The collection assembles their most commercially and critically successful tracks, including the chart-topping "The Letter" and the soulful "Cry Like a Baby." These songs showcase the group's signature blend of blue-eyed soul and pop, powered by Alex Chilton's gritty, emotive vocals. The album reflects the band's brief but impactful run on the American music scene during the late 1960s, a period marked by their collaboration with producer Dan Penn at American Sound Studio, where they crafted hits that bridged the worlds of pop, R&B, and soul.
