This is the US Kudu issue of Soul Box Vol. 2, catalog number KU 13, pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. Co. Both sides of the deadwax carry the lacquer number SQ98773 and the Monarch job number 20368, with an X suffix on side B, which separates it from the US copies whose runouts carry a stamped VAN GELDER and no SQ prefix.
The record is a single stereo LP. Rudy Van Gelder's RVG mark appears in the runout of both sides. The front of the jacket notes that the album was also available as KUX-1213, a two-record set.
Kudu issued Soul Box in 1973 as two separate LPs, Vol. 1 on KU-12 and Vol. 2 on KU-13, before combining them as KUX-1213. This copy carries the original Vol. 2 catalog number rather than a later reissue number.
Soul Box is Grover Washington, Jr.'s third studio album, recorded in March 1973 with Bob James arranging and conducting.
