Artist:	GREEN, AL
Title:	Let's Stay Together
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GET 8033

"Al Green has often been called the last great soul man, and when you hear the first few bars of 'Let's Stay Together' (his first number one hit), you know that it's true. But while on par in talent with soul legends like James Brown and Otis Redding, Green stands alone as a pioneer in soul music, single-handedly reviving the genre in the early seventies with a mind-boggling vocal style that had never been heard before and, while many have tried to follow in his footsteps, hasn't been heard since. Don't miss this essential reissue with original artwork on high quality 180 gram vinyl."

Title:	I'm Still In Love With You
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GET 8034

"Al Green's magnum opus and one of soul music's finest moments. By the time I'm Still In Love With You was released in 1972, the Al Green / Willie Mitchell Hi Records team was a well-oiled hit-making machine. With one number one hit under his belt, this album put Green right back at the top of the charts with hits like 'Look What You Done For Me' and 'Love And Happiness'. Essential vinyl for any collection. Reissued with original artwork on beautiful high quality 180 gram vinyl."

Title:	Gets Next To You
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GET 8045

"The follow up to Green Is Blues, Gets Next To You is the definitive masterpiece by the Mitchell-Green LTD. Improving on the characterization of the trademark HI sound, Willie Mitchell's decision to switch from the gritty syncopations of deep Southern soul to a slower and more seductive base supports an Al Green probably at his best. There are no false steps here, since every single track on the album is a pillar of the genre, from the opening massive cover version of the Temptations' 'I Can't Get Next To You', which is reinvented with a lethal dose of irresistible groove, to the perfect 1-2 pitch of 'Tired Of Being Alone' followed by 'I'm A Ram'."

Title:	Al Green Is Love
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GET 8060

"With this double set of releases, 1975 marked the apex in the career of one of R&B's most prolific artists. Often referred to as the last of the truly great soul singers, he owes no small part of his success to producer and creative mastermind Willie Mitchell. Greatest Hits epitomizes the trademark sound of the devastating duo, with ten of R&B music's all-time gems, while Al Green Is Love, released later in the year, offers up the 'dark side' of Al Green in a very introspective collection, unusually melancholic for some, but definitely a big step towards Green's artistic maturity. Give yourself a gift and get these two fresh 180 gram vinyl reissues."
