Booker T. & The M.G.'s deliver their signature instrumental soul and funk mastery on Up Tight, originally released in 1968 as a soundtrack album. This legendary Memphis quartet, anchored by Booker T. Jones' distinctive organ work, created some of their most compelling grooves for this collection.
The album is notable primarily for featuring the non-single version of the M.G.'s massive hit "Time is Tight," alongside standout tracks "Tank's Lament" and "We've Got Johnny Wells." This 2024 reissue from Endless Happiness brings these essential soul-funk instrumentals back to vinyl, offering collectors and fans a chance to experience the full sonic depth of one of the era's most influential rhythm sections.
