Our Take

Booker T & The MGs, the grooviest cats in town, are back with a bang in this second volume of their complete Stax singles collection. Swinging into action from 1968 to 1974, this powder blue vinyl release is more than just a blast from the past - it's a time machine straight to the heart of soul.

From the funky basslines of "Soul Limbo" to the smooth vibes of "Time Is Tight," Booker T & Co. are on fire here. Each track is a treasure trove of musical mastery, with the band's signature blend of soul, jazz, and R&B shining through like a disco ball in a darkened room.

The standout moment? It has to be their epic cover of The Beatles' "Something," which sees Booker T's organ skills on full display. It's a soulful take on a classic hit that will have you grooving in your seat faster than you can say "Yeah, baby!"

But it's not just the music that shines on this release - the powder blue vinyl adds a touch of class to an already standout collection. It's like music for your ears and your eyes, all rolled into one groovy package.

Overall, Booker T & The MGs have knocked it out of the park once again with this collection of Stax singles. It's a must-have for any serious music lover, so grab your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie down with the best in the business.
