Booker T. & the MG's - Green Onions [Metal]

A stone-cold groove machine from start to finish, Green Onions by Booker T. & the MG’s is an essential slice of ‘60s soul and instrumental R&B. This limited edition vinyl is direct metal mastered for enhanced audio fidelity and comes with two bonus tracks, giving longtime fans a tasty little extra.

Originally released in 1962, this debut album from the legendary Stax house band delivers tight, organ-driven jams that laid the groundwork for Southern soul. The title track, “Green Onions,” is a gritty, swaggering masterpiece that’s still one of the coolest instrumentals ever pressed to wax. But don’t stop there—tracks like “Mo’ Onions” and “Behave Yourself” bring even more smoky organ licks and sharp, clean guitar from Steve Cropper.

What sets this edition apart isn’t just the sonic upgrade through direct metal mastering—it’s also the bonus material, which expands the vibe without disrupting the flow. The sound is punchy, warm, and full of vintage grit that captures the essence of the original Stax recordings.

Pressed on quality vinyl by Wax Time, this reissue isn’t just a collector’s dream—it’s a fresh way to experience one of soul music’s foundational records. Whether you're rediscovering it or diving in for the first time, Green Onions never fails to bring the flavor.
