COMMENTS :

A case of good time party music, albeit clearly overshadowed by its creators' historical importance. Far beyond the novelty of 1961's "Last Night," some of the Mar-Keys went on to immortalize themselves as the solid backbone of Southern soul in its prime. As can be learned from editor Robert Gordon's It Came from Memphis, most of the original members weren't allowed to play on the first two studio albums. Instead, these barely 18-year-olds were sent out on tour pretty much on a permanent basis. After two years they disbanded, fed up with each other and allegedly driving their tour bus into the sea. Fast forward to 1965 and the Mar-Keys Mach II. Booker T. & the M.G.'s and the Memphis Horns were beginning to build a reputation, backing early Stax sides and releasing albums in their own right. Whether a payback or maybe just for good measure, the M.G.'s guitarist Steve Cropper and Wayne Jackson of the Memphis Horns decided to put together another Mar-Keys record. Bringing in respective bandmembers Al Jackson, Jr. and Andrew Love, they were joined by a third original Mar-Keys member Donald "Duck" Dunn, the bass player who was about to replace Lewis Steinberg in the M.G.'s. Also on board was Isaac Hayes helping out on organ, as he would regularly fill in for Booker T. whenever the band was booked twice in one night in different locations. The Great Memphis Sound easily stands out from its two predecessors, as it refrains from novelties inspired by a certain sailor man. Well intended instrumental versions of jazz and popular standards are also kept at a minimum. In its place are the tightly locked groove of "Grab This Thing" and "Philly Dog," their slightly speeded up version of Rufus Thomas' "The Dog.

With new post office rates 1-5 LPS has gone up but atleast USPS is now allowing the Priority Flate Rate boxes
to be used international. You are allowed up to 20 pounds and i was just able to fit 15 LPS in one. And this was of course after i boxed the 15 LPS in a professional record mailer before putting in USPS's Priority box so no worry about protection. For those outside the USA that like to buy multiple records to save on shipping this flate rate international box will help.
