{"title":"Booker T and the MG's","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the house band for the Stax\/Volt labels, Booker T. and the MG's helped define the spare, punchy sound of Memphis soul music. By contrast to Motown's orchestrated, pop-soul records, the Stax approach was lean, economical and deeply groove-oriented. Between 1963 and 1968, Booker T. and the MGs appeared on more than 600 Stax\/Volt recordings, including classics by such artists as Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas, Johnnie Taylor and William Bell. As a result of Stax's affiliation with Atlantic Records, the group also worked with Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, and Albert King. Moreover, Booker T. and the MGs were a successful recording group in their own right, cutting ten albums and fourteen instrumental hits, including \"Green Onions,\" \"Hang 'Em High,\" \"Time Is Tight\" and \"Soul-Limbo.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mrs-robinson-soul-clap-69","title":"Mrs. Robinson\/ Soul Clap '69","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful copy grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- placeholder description content --\u003e","brand":"Booker T and the MG's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48513598587113,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/Classic45s-Generic-Record_ac3d0967-5fe9-4c9e-8267-34dd5ae826ee.webp?v=1752170776"},{"product_id":"time-is-tight-1","title":"Time Is Tight \/ Mrs. Robinson","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Stax 0028.
