Booker T. & the MG's - Green Onions [New CD] Bonus Tracks

24-BIT DIGITALLY REMASTEREDINCLUDES 8 BONUS TRACKSTHE STAX HOUSE BANDAs the house band for the Stax/Volt labels, Booker T. and The M.G.s helped define the spare, punchy sound of Memphis soul music. In contrast to Motown’s orchestrated, pop-soul records, the Stax approach was lean, economical and deeply grooveoriented. The group appeared on more than 600 recordings, including classics by such giants as Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Eddie Floyd, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas, and William Bell, among many others. This quintessential collector’s editioncontains Booker T. and The M.G.s’ outstanding debut LP, Green Onions (1962) – one of the all-time cornerstones of soul and R&B. The album includes the legendary title track that became a major hit, its original B-side (“Behave Yourself”), a new composition dubbed “Mo’ Onions”, and nine assorted covers of popular R&B hits of the period. In addition, this remastered CD features 8 bonus tracks, presenting some of the same songs from the album recorded by other seminal artists. This is the material upon which the Memphis soul legacy was built.5 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE“There’s not a note or a nuance out of place anywhere on this record, which featured 35 of the most exciting minutes of instrumental music in any category that one could purchase in 1962.”(1-12) BOOKER T. & THE M.G.sBOOKER T.
