Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

These four gentlemen may have been the most important players in all of soul music. They were an interracial group before it was popular or even accepted. They formed the core of the house backing-band at Stax Records, wrote classic soul songs, and discovered and produced artists at Stax. And as this CD makes very clear, they recorded great songs in their own right. All instrumentals, the MGs wrote their own classics-"Green Onions", "Time Is Tight"--and interpreted others--"Groovin'", "Hang 'Em High." The contemporary sound and feel of these decades- old tracks proves what visionaries they were. --Robert Gordon

5.0 out of 5 stars A good sampling of the Band's work both old and new., 24 Nov 1999
By A Customer
An album that starts with the theme tune to BBC's cricket matches, but ends with a stomping live performance of Green Onions. My personal favourite is "Fuquawi" (careful how you say it!) as it is not featured on other collections, such as the Atlantic's "Best of" album - not even the 3CD box set "Time Is Tight" (available on the Stax label). Includes the 60's floor filler "Soul Clap `69". Next, try Atlantic's "Best of" album.
