Here's a beautiful copy of the first pressing of "Green Onions" on Stax, on the gray label. (Most pressings are on the light blue label.) Hard as anything to find, I'm thrilled to have a copy back in the store. "Green Onions" is one of the most popular soul instrumentals in history, earning it spot #110 on Dave Marsh's list and #183 on Rolling Stone magazine's list. Note: This 45 record is a solid Near Mint in appearance, with nearly untouched-looking vinyl. The audio, however, has a touch of underlying surface noise that lowers the grade to a strong EX.
