Please give us records. That’s all we want. Not sweaters or socks, jewelry or jammies. Just records.

As the vinyl boom rolls on, more artists and labels revisit their backpages to stunning results. Here are four sets to satisfy the vinyl completist on your list.

“The Complete Stax/Volt Singles: 1959-1968 Volumes 1 & 2,” $90

It’s all favorite gems and lost nuggets. Making its vinyl debut, “The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1959-1968” is 84 tracks of pure soul, r&b, rock, and funk. Long in the shadow of the Motown/Tamla label, the Stax/Volt output was just as artistically magnificent. Just take a listen to those aforementioned faves including Booker T. & the MGs’ “Green Onions,” Rufus Thomas’ “Walking the Dog,” and Otis Redding’s “Pain in My Heart.” Then listen to everything else and discover even the “lesser” tracks are magic — The Chips’ “You Make Me Feel So Good” lays some earthy doo wop over top stomping r&b jam; Carla Thomas proves on cut after cut that she should be at the top of the pop soul mountain beside Diana Ross.

“The Soul and Songs of Young Curtis Mayfield: The Spirit of Chicago!”, $33

Craft Records has done the Lord’s work in compiling this set of Mayfield-related gems. Somehow an icon and still not celebrated enough, Mayfield was as much an architect of the soul revolution as Sam Cooke or Berry Gordy Jr. This double LP has been mastered from the original tapes of Mayfield’s early work from 1958 to 1965. His gospel roots are made clear on Impressions’ tracks such as “That You Love Me.” The range of his songwriting and arranging skills are on display in the early r&b of Gene Chandler’s “Man’s Temptation” and the sweet, poppy “At a Party” by Wade Flemons. This was a Record Store Day release so it might be hard to find but it’s well worth the treasure hunt.

“Talking Heads: 77,” $150

Where did the Talking Heads come from? No, no, I know they came from RISD and CBGB. But where, why, how did this noise and melody bubble up from? With the band’s debut album, Talking Heads invents post-punk, reinvents art rock, and looks forward to the worldbeat revolution. On this extensive super deluxe reissue, you can explore every bit of the noise and melody. Across four LPs and four limited-edition 7’’ singles, you get demos, outtakes, and a previously unreleased live show from CBGB from Oct. 10, 1977. To put the music in context, there is an 80-page hardbound book with freshly uncovered photos, band art, and notes written by each band member.

“The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion,” the Black Crowes, $122

The best post-“Tattoo You” album from the Rolling Stones is actually “The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion.” On their 1992 release, the Crowes made something that feels like sin and salvation, Saturday night at the blues club and Sunday morning services. This boxset improves on a perfect LP. The outtakes are staggering — your album has to be pretty damn great to leave off a ballad like “Miserable.” Also included in the super deluxe edition are tracks off the album done live in Houston on Feb. 6, 1993 (the scorching “Sting Me” alone is worth the price of admission). Curated by the Robinson brothers, the four LP box has all the bells and whistles including a reproduction of the original 132-page promotional hymn book with loads of observations and photos from the sessions.
