Title: The Complete Stax Singles Vol. 1 (1962-1967)
Artist: Booker T & Mg's
Label: Real Gone Music
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 848064013099
Genre: Rock

Double red colored vinyl LP pressing. With apologies to groups like The Meters, Bar-Kays, and Average White Band, when it comes to all-time great instrumental R&B bands, for most folks Booker T. & the MG's represent the gold standard. Together, they recorded 49 single sides for Stax under the name of Booker T. & the MG's, and you'll find the first 29 (yes, 29!) of 'em right here. As with all of our singles collections, we have very carefully vetted these songs to make sure they are the correct mono single versions, with mastering by Dan Hersch at d2 Mastering, and tape research and sourcing by Mike Johnson and Aaron Kannowski with help from Bill Inglot. Ed Osborne has contributed detailed notes and discographical information, too, and the set's produced by Real Gone's own Gordon Anderson. As for the music, it pretty much speaks for itself: 29 songs, 15 of which reached the charts, including, along with 'Green Onions,' such classics as 'Boot-Leg,' 'Hip Hug-Her,' and 'My Sweet Potato.' Get ready to get into the groove and stay there for a nice, long while!
