Description

A cornerstone of soul music, Greatest Hits captures Al Green at his most transcendent—romantic, spiritual, and sonically lush. This Fat Possum reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl by Memphis Record Pressing, preserving the warmth and analog depth of the original Hi Records masters. Housed in a classic sleeve with period-accurate artwork and mastering by J. Powell, it’s a definitive edition for collectors and audiophiles alike.

Produced by Willie Mitchell and backed by the legendary Hi Rhythm Section, the compilation spans Green’s golden era, blending gospel-infused vocals with sensual grooves and string-laced arrangements. From the eternal Let’s Stay Together to the aching Tired of Being Alone, every track is a masterclass in emotional delivery and Southern soul craftsmanship.
