I'd go hard for a 1-LP but personally I do not need 4 records of that other stuff. Looks like a nice set tho

Sixty years ago, Booker T. & The MG’s transformed an impromptu studio jam into one of the most popular instrumentals ever recorded, “Green Onions.” An instant hit when it came out in the summer of 1962, the single topped the R&B chart and peaked at #3 on the pop chart before selling a million copies. That fall, the song became the title track to the band’s debut album, which, coincidentally, was also the first album released on Stax Records, the legendary Memphis-based record company that shaped the sound of Southern Soul in the Sixties.
In celebration of this classic album’s anniversary, Rhino is releasing a newly remastered version on green vinyl. GREEN ONIONS: 60th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION will be available on February 24 on 180-gram translucent green “onion” vinyl ($24.98). The music also will be available the same day on CD ($14.98) and from digital and streaming services. The newly remastered version of “Mo’ Onions” from the reissue is available today digitally.
The music has been completely remastered for this edition, and the album packaging features all-new liner notes by American author David Ritz, who interviewed two of the group’s founding members – Booker T. Jones and Steve Cropper – for this release.
Jones and Cropper tell the story of how – along with Lewie Steinberg (bass) and Al Jackson Jr. (drums) – they accidentally created a masterpiece. As the house band for Stax Records, the quartet was booked to record demos, but the scheduled singer arrived too hoarse to record. Instead of packing up, the band stayed and started noodling on a blues riff.
Jim Stewart, the owner of Stax, was engineering the session that day. He liked what he heard and began recording the band without telling them. When they finished, he liked it so much that he wanted to release it immediately as a single. The group agreed and returned to the studio to write and record a B-side for the new song they named “Behave Yourself.”
Back in the studio, Cropper asked Jones to play a riff he’d played during a recent show. In the liner notes, Jones recalls the moment: “I’d forgotten those riffs…so I asked Steve to stand next to the organ and help refresh my memory. I played several licks before Steve stopped and shouted, ‘That’s it!’ He identified the opening notes of what would become ‘Green Onions.’ The song burst to life on the spot.”
The next day, Cropper took the then-unnamed B-side to a local deejay who played it on the air four times in a row. The station’s phones lit up with callers asking where they could buy the song. Naturally, “Green Onions” graduated to the A-side, and the rest is history.
Today, the popularity of “Green Onions” continues to grow. Everyone from The Blues Brothers to Count Basie and Deep Purple to Mongo Santamaría has covered the funky and soulful instrumental. It’s appeared in a long list of films and television shows, including Quadrophenia, Get Shorty, The Sopranos, and Ken Burn’s The Vietnam War. The Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry in 2012, and the Grammy® Awards gave it the Grammy® Hall of Fame Award in 1999. In addition to physical sales, the song has been streamed nearly 200 million times to date.

Damn, so many reunions suck so bad

This sounds like they picked up exactly where they left off and it's kind of surreal in 2022

i'm into it

Is it possible to close this thread and push any future convo to be about Lingua Ignota and her work?
Full support for survivors.

why is that weird?  what was the release date?  the thread starter has done an F- job managing the first post with info.  no edits at all.  made a post with a question and then never returns to update it.  like who does that?  seriously?  wtf?

Please disregard that user – nothing s/he says should be taken seriously.  It's an alternate account of someone in the community who doesn't get enough attention in the real world.  To catch you up to speed, they pretend to be obsessed with The Used and contribute nothing beneficial to VC.  A great candidate for your Ignore List in your profile preferences, if you wanted to give that a shot.

all good bro.
contributes nothing?  i give regular updates on the used threads i start including constantly updating the thread with variants, where to buy them, qtys left, sold out, etc.  i figure most users here considered me a backbone to this forum.

Nope.  Not what I wrote.
Check again.
 
 

Also kudos for proving my point exactly.  The Used are nothing shy of a meme in 2021, as is anyone devoted to them.  The shtick is boring on its own but having your dipshit humor leak into other threads for no reason – like this one – is even worse.  Aren’t you due for another forced hiatus?  Not sure why you’re allowed to keep coming back, but it’d be great if you added one more temporary ban to your collection.

I think you missed the point. They don't have one.
 
Anyway - 

 



Y’all some triflin bitches, complaining about a band releasing new music. Fuck outta here

With Appleseed Cast trending, and it being the time for giving, my gift is this bump. 

I reached out to you personally. Also sugar eggs what is funny about me trying to help someone who wants one for cost?

Imagine being able to shit in someone's mouth and they just say thank you and pay you for more... until you're a billionaire... fuck I'd have a mental disorder at that point too.

Have to hard disagree with that list.

This album can't possibly be good, can it?

The truest commitment to that album title.

Yeah, but "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" is easily the best song. Ever.

It’s seriously so good.  First listen had me thinking it was going to be one of their densest records and require the most time to digest, but it’s all clicked very well into place over the last week or two.

Wish they'd buckle down and write something worthwhile instead of churning out substandard imitations of their own shtick. Listening now but not exactly hopeful. Pretty art and variant though.

To be honest, after hell songs I've been wanting to slide back into the Canada Songs era. I remember as the sun sets, and caught a few Fucking Invinsible sets... and just want something more intense.
 
I mean I hear slight snippets of guitars that make my eyes googly, but keep me disappointed after a build up.
