The Memphis Soul Sound Of… Booker T & The MGs SKU: VP80025 Barcode: 8712177061747 12.00 £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Vinyl Passion Released Date: 18th March 2013 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info European reissue of the original Green Onions LP. There\’s not a note or a nuance out of place anywhere on this record, which was 35 of the most exciting minutes of instrumental music in any category that one could purchase in 1962 (and it\’s no slouch four decades out, either). \”I Got a Woman\” is the single best indicator of how superb this record is and this band was — listening to this track, it\’s easy to forget that the song ever had lyrics or ever needed them, Booker T. Jones\’ organ and Steve Cropper\’s guitar serving as more-than-adequate substitutes for any singer. Their version of \”Twist and Shout\” is every bit as satisfying. Even \”Mo\’ Onions,\” an effort to repeat the success of \”Green Onions,\” doesn\’t repeat anything from the earlier track except the tempo, and Jones and Cropper both come up with fresh sounds within the same framework. \”Behave Yourself\” is a beautifully wrought piece of organ-based blues that gives Jones a chance to show off some surprisingly nimble-fingered playing, while \”Stranger on the Shore\” is transformed into a piece of prime soul music in the group\’s hands. \”Lonely Avenue\” is another showcase for Jones\’ keyboard dexterity, and then there\’s the group\’s cover of Smokey Robinson\’s \”One Who Really Loves You,\” with a ravishing lead performance by Jones on organ and Cropper\’s guitar handling the choruses. Just when it seems like the album has turned in all of the surprises in repertory that it could reasonably deliver, it ends with \”Comin\’ Home Baby,\” a killer jazz piece on which Steve Cropper gets to shine, his guitar suddenly animated around Jones\’ playing, his quietly trilled notes at the crescendo some of the most elegant guitar heard on an R&B record up to that time. [The Concord Music Group reissued Green Onions in 2012, with live versions of \”Green Onions\” and \”Can\’t Sit Down,\” both drawn from a live show in L.A. in 1965, and originally released on the album Funky Broadway: Stax Revue Live at the 5/4 Ballroom, added as bonus tracks.] ~ Bruce Eder Artist Booker T & The MGs Genre Rock And Pop , Soul / Funk Label Vinyl Passion Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country NET Track Listings SIDE 1 Green Onions Rinky-Dink I Got A Woman Mo’ Onions Twist And Shout Behave Yourself SIDE 2 Stranger On The Shore Lonely Avenue One Who Really Loves You You Can’t Sit Down A Woman, A Lover, A Friend Comin’ Home Baby Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Booker T & The MGs View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs In The Christmas Spirit (Crystal Clear Diamond Vinyl) Soul / Funk | Rhino Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs In The Christmas Spirit (Crystal Clear Diamond Vinyl) £30.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rhino Atlantic SKU: 0603497832224 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Soul Limbo Soul / Funk | Stax | 1LP Released 18th August 2023 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Soul Limbo £15.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Stax SKU: SXE009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Green Onions 60th Anniversary Edition Soul / Funk | Rhino Atlantic | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th February 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Green Onions 60th Anniversary Edition £30.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rhino Atlantic SKU: 603497837571 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Green Onions Soul / Funk | Rumble Records | 1LP Released 12th February 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Green Onions £17.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rumble Records SKU: RUM2011112LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Green Onions Soul / Funk | Rhino / Stax | 180g, 1LP Released 20th June 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Green Onions £16.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rhino / Stax SKU: 0081227940560 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Hip-Hug-Her Soul / Funk | Rhino / Stax | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd July 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Hip-Hug-Her £16.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rhino / Stax SKU: 081227940485 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Soul Dressing mono Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 17th March 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Soul Dressing mono £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP998 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs In The Christmas Spirit Soul / Funk | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 14th December 2010 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs In The Christmas Spirit £28.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5053 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th December 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs Green Onions Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 13th January 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs Green Onions £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP973 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs The Booker T.
