***1974's Al Green Explores Your Mind (originally released on HI Records) continues the Mitchell and Green uptempo groovy hard soul alliance. Although more mellow than Green's previous releases, this album reflects only in part the changes WILLIE MITCHELL had begun to weave into his music, giving his productions a lighter feel. This is because Al Green is unique and his style can't be confused with anyone else, no matter what producers do to the arrangements. Contains the classic "Take Me To The River," later also recorded by the Talking Heads and the sentimental "School Days."

***BACK IN PRINT!!! The 1977 Belle Album was AL GREEN’s first album recorded without longtime producer WILLIE MITCHELL, owner of Green's former label, Hi Records. With Mitchell and his label Green also abandoned the famed Hi Rhythm Section, which had previously played a large part in defining Green's distinctive musical style. This also marks the first instance in which Green plays lead guitar on his records. The Belle Album is one of the last in a string of secular R&B recordings made by Green; he had recently converted to Christianity and had been ordained as a pastor, and thereafter he began creating gospel records exclusively.

***BACK IN STOCK!!! 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 syncopation of deep Southern soul to a slower and more seductive bass supports AL GREEN at the peak of his powers. There are no false steps here, as 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." If you're the romantic type , this one is for you.

***BACK IN STOCK!!! 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 or, while many have tried to follow in his footsteps, since.

***BACK IN STOCK!!! 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.
