Hello and Welcome! Here is what you're bidding on: TITLE and ARTIST: "Time Is Tight" by Booker T. and the MG's on the STAX/Fantasy Compact Disc label, issued in 1998. CONDITION: JACKET: Original STAX 3-CD half-LP-size box, in like new condition, with 50-page booklet, which is is superb condition. DISC: Discs are like new, and play perfectly. ALL MUSIC GUIDE RATING: (5 Stars is Best) 4.5 Stars. ALL MUSIC GUIDE COMMENTARY: "Some of the more obscure selections, like their jazzy 1967 LP cut "Pigmy" and their inventive 1969 cover of "Lady Madonna," are overlooked standouts. A number of sides here, like "Burnt Biscuits," "Fannie Mae," "Sunday Sermon," "MG Party," and the moody, dignified "Meditation," were never on album before. Other oddities fans will want to know about is a live medley of James Brown material from 1968, Albert King doing "Born Under a Bad Sign" with them live (also from 1968), a hit 1965 single ("Hole in the Wall") released under the name "the Packers," and "Booker's Theme," which was only available on the 1969 Stax various-artists sampler Soul Explosion." This amazing box set is filled with historical and discographical information, as well as numerous photographs; the last sentence of the booklet's essay by Rob Bowman says simply: "The music of Booker T and the MGs will live forever." Enough said; it is now time for me to pass this treasure along; it is a rare opportunity well worth your consideration.
