Booker T. & The Mg's
Soul Dressing
All analog process from the original master tapes. Cut by Kevin Gray. Long out of print 1965 mono release. Featuring the
legendary The Mar-Keys horn section. Includes the hit single 'Soul Dressing.' Limited clear vinyl pressing. Jackpot is
honored to be releasing four mighty reissues from Booker T. & The MG's during their hot streak from 1965-1968. Likely,
the most well known, respected, and beloved instrumental band of all time, their recorded output has also become one of
the most cherished ever put to tape. Initially serving as the house band for Stax Records, organist Booker T. Jones,
guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Lewie Steinberg (later replaced by bass monster Donald 'Duck' Dunn), and drummer Al
Jackson Jr. were instrumental in creating the "Memphis Sound." They recorded the basic tracks for well over a hundred
records, including backing some of the greatest artists of all time: Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, and Albert
King, all the while breaking barriers as one of the South's first integrated acts.
But they became legendary powerhouses of their own making when they started recording for themselves. Throughout their
history, they racked up Top 40 hits, had their songs covered by artists as diverse as The Ventures, Count Basie, and Tom
Petty & The Heartbreakers, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement
award, and continued being the band of choice in collaborations with legends such as Bob Dylan & Neil Young.
