Hi, I'm new to the list. I listed to Booker T and many of the Stax artists back in the '60's. When I was in high school in the late '60's, two of the most...
In a message dated 3/1/2002 10:28:14 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... Welcome to the list Maugie! I'm guessing it was probably Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You...
I think this is a recent recording. This station doesn't really play oldies from the '60's. They play some 70's stuff (Steely Dan, etc.), but I don't think...
I found out that the record is called "Ven a Gorgar" and was recorded by Fishbelly Black. It sounds a lot like a Booker T & The MGs number, in particular "Time...
Hello all! Here in Chicago the PBS station has a show scheduled for Tuesday night entitled something like "40 years of R&B". It's billed as an anniversary ...
In a message dated 3/2/2002 11:55:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... I checked out CDnow.com and listened to a sample of the track. The keyboard is a hammond,...
Speaking of "Time Is Tight", there are two versions. The first I heard was the one where the sound is more driven by the rhythm and Al's steady drumming. The ...
There were two versions, the real OST for the Uptight movie (which I was unfortunately unable to see until then) which was recorded in Paris, and the Stax...
Hi Timothy, The two versions of "Time Is Tight" are quite different : the long one is on the "Uptight" album and is played by the (fab) four MG's, the short...
The First Time Is Tight I was speaking of appears on the Stax/Volt 9 disc set.(Atlantic era)I know I have The Ballad Of John and Yoko, but don't think I ...
Hello fellow B.T. + MGs fans, Just had a listen the new release "Stax instrumentals". I noticed that on this "previously unissued" compilation appear in fact...

"Ole Man Trouble", yes, same title, but two entirely different songs. You don't know the Hip Hug-Her album yet ? You lucky guy ! Get ready for a trip to heaven...
Timothy, I have 'Get Ready', it is an English version of 'Hip Hug Her' and contains exactly the same tracks. Presumably the name change relates to the fact...
Alan, I have to agree that "Hip Hug Her" is probably their best release--tough, surprising, totally original, sassy, tight as can be. To me the later Melting...
Cher Patrick, No, no, two different recordings. The single appeared on LPs such as "Best of..." or "Greatest hits" (yellow label) in those days, also on a maxi...
Thanks, Alan, what a great tale ! Please, give us some more ! Have a look on the Stax-Volt Revue '67 video, during Green Onions, Al Jackson is keeping this...
Alan, Thank you so much for your response. Great story. I still get sick when I think of Al. I sure am related to the Whitsetts. Tim, the publishing man is my ...
Marc, Thanks for mentioning my uncle's outing with the MGs. My dad got me the CD for Christmas. Now, I had heard "Sugarcane" and thought Carson was good, not ...
Patrick, Boot Leg is a great track.(My dad's favorite, I think.) I have always loved Packy Axton's sax workout on that and on "Hole In the Wall". Also love...

Tim, I've got a copy of the Hip Hits CD - it's quality !! My favourite track is the cover of Petula Clarkes Downtown - brilliant & well worth buying. Cheers ...
Just got the new MG's / Mar-Keys CD this morning. Brilliant! I was feeling like 35 years before when I discovered a new Stax LP fresh from the pressing plants....
Timothy, The albums you quote are just generic 'best of' type things thrown together by the label that currently owned the rights The key albums you should be...
