180g Vinyl Reissue!
Propelled by Booker T. Jones' smoky organ and the funky guitar bursts of Steve Cropper, "Green Onions" - the first chart-topper by Booker T. & The MG's - slithered across the 1962 airwaves.
Originally released as the B-side to "Behave Yourself", the song Green Onions, became an R&B hit and features guitarist Steve Cropper on a Fender Telecaster. The song was quickly re-issued as the A-side of the single numbered Stax 127.
"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 (and it's no slouch multiple decades out, either)..." - allmusic.com
