“Green Onions” is still one of the greatest singles ever recorded. I heard Booker T on an interview not too long ago. He said that he’s never been able to exactly reproduce the sound and vibe of his playing on that record.
Nice one Paul…Less than £12 post paid to UK!
Thanks for the heads-up, Paul. Even with the postage, it’s a great deal.
This is out of print in the US. I guess it’s been reissued elsewhere or maybe never went out of print.. The cover picture is the same, but the background is white instead of a brownish background on the US version. Great set!
And in the “customers also bought…” section, you can see that their Abbey Road tribute “McLemore Avenue” is given for 4.23€!!!!
Got it! Thanks a lot, Paul! There were many great deal alerts the past few days (Miles Davis etc.).
