Green Onions: Deluxe 60th Anniversary Edition Translucent Green Vinyl LP

One of the all - time most popular instrumental songs, 'Green Onions' originated from a band jam during a demo session for rock’n’roll singer Billy Lee Riley with the well - known Stax Records house band. Stax label head Jim Stewart was impressed and recorded what would be the foundation of the band's debut album. Named Booker T. & The M.G.s, they released 'Green Onions' in October 1962 with original members Booker T. Jones (organ, piano), Steve Cropper (guitar), Lewie Steinberg (bass), and Al Jackson Jr. (drums). The title track became a global hit and was covered by numerous artists like the Blues Brothers, the Ventures, the Shadows, Deep Purple, Mongo Santamaria and Count Basie. This deluxe 60th Anniversary Edition of 'Green Onions' comes as a 1LP 180g vinyl in a translucent green color similar to the vegetable it honors, along with a 4 - page insert featuring band photos, Stax Records memorabilia and David Ritz’s new liner notes.

Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the record, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the vinyl. Always store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After each use, put it back in its sleeve to protect it from scratches. Also, don't stack too many records on top of it to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft anti - static brush to clean it before playing.
