2015 EU reissue on 180g =Propelled by Booker T. Jones' smoky organ and the funky guitar bursts of Steve Cropper, "Green Onions," the first chart-topper by Booker T. & The MG's slithered across the 1962 airwaves, followed immediately by an album every bit as savory. Hot on the heels of that first MG's smash was "Mo' Onions," as well as the exquisite pop delights of "Stranger On The Shore" and the unsurpassed after-hours smolder of "Behave Yourself."

Tracks:
A1 Green Onions (Green Onions)
A2 Rinky Dink
A3 I Got A Woman
A4 Mo Onions
A5 Twist & Shout
A6 Behave Yourself

B1 Stranger On The Shore
B2 Lonely Avenue
B3 The One Who Really Loves You
B4 You Can't Sit Down
B5 Woman, A Lover, A Friend
B6 Comin Home Baby
B7 Soul Dressing (Soul Dressing)

There's not a note or a nuance out of place anywhere on this record, which featured 35 of the most exciting minutes of instrumental music in any category that one could purchase in 1962 (and it's no slouch multiple decades out, either). "I Got a Woman" is the single best indicator of how superb this record is and this band was -- listening to this track, it's easy to forget that the song ever had lyrics or ever needed them, Booker T. Jones' organ and Steve Cropper's guitar serving as more-than-adequate substitutes for any singer. Their version of "Twist and Shout" is every bit as satisfying. Even "Mo' Onions," an effort to repeat the success of "Green Onions," doesn't repeat anything from the earlier track except the tempo, and Jones and Cropper both come up with fresh sounds within the same framework. "Behave Yourself" is a beautifully wrought piece of organ-based blues that gives Jones a chance to show off some surprisingly nimble-fingered playing, while "Stranger on the Shore" is transformed into a piece of prime soul music in the group's hands. Just when it seems like the album has turned in all of the surprises in repertory that it could reasonably deliver, it ends with "Comin' Home Baby," a killer jazz piece on which Steve Cropper gets to shine, his guitar suddenly animated around Jones' playing, his quietly trilled notes at the crescendo some of the most elegant guitar heard on an R&B record up to that time.
