Product Description
Concord Music Group will release Booker T. & the MGs’ Green Onions as part of its Stax Remasters series on July 24, 2012. Enhanced by 24-bit remastering by Joe Tarantino, two live bonus tracks and newly written liner notes by Grammy Award-winning Stax historian Rob Bowman, the reissue not only spotlights one of the most entertaining and influential soul and R&B recordings of the 1960s, but also reaffirms the album’s enduring nature a half-century after its original release.

The album’s original 12 tracks are executed by the lean but formidable roster of organist Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Lewis Steinberg, and drummer Al Jackson, Jr. The reissue also includes two bonus tracks — live renditions of “Green Onions” and “You Can’t Sit Down,” both recorded at the 5/4 Ballroom in Los Angeles in August 1965. These extra tracks — which Bowman describes in his liner notes as “turbo-charged, extended, uber-muscular versions” — include Donald “Duck” Dunn replacing Steinberg on bass and joined by Packy Axton on saxophone on “Can't Sit Down.”
