Absolute necessity. The opening credits of "Ali" include a recreation of one of the performances off this album, a song called Bring It On Home To Me.

the numerous Stax Anthologies.

There's a nine-CD set of the Stax-Volt singles, and an 8-CD set from Atlantic Records of their singles, both are a bit pricey but well worth the money to anyone that wants to instantly beef up their classic R+B collection. I have both and they are incredible collections. Due to the distribution deal between Stax and Atlantic back in the day, there is some overlap between the sets, but not a ton.
