Limited Hot Pink Vinyl Pressing.
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 Souths 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.
