Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Green Vinyl Vinyl Records Heavyweight LP Booker T & The MG’s One of the most popular instrumental songs ever, “Green Onions” started out as a band jam at a demo recording session for rock’n’roll singer Billy Lee Riley with the famed Stax Records house band. Stax label head Jim Stewart liked what he heard and recorded what would become the basis for the band’s debut album. Christened Booker T. & The M.G.s, they released “Green Onions” with original members Booker T. Jones organ, piano, Steve Cropper guitar, Lewie Steinberg bass, and Al Jackson Jr. drums in October 1962. The title track became a worldwide hit, covered by dozens of artists including the Blues Brothers, the Ventures, the Shadows, Deep Purple, Mongo Santamaria and Count Basie. The deluxe 60th Anniversary Edition of “Green Onions” releases as a 1LP 180g vinyl in a green translucent colorway similar in hue to the vegetable it celebrates plus a 4page insert, including band photos, Stax Records ephemera and David Ritz’s new liner notes. This Edition also releases as a 1CD deluxe softpack.
