The record is cut from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) in Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket is a tip-on gatefold reproducing the 1965 front cover, down to the V6-8627 catalog number and the STEREO legend across the top. Universal's European store credits Stoughton Printing with the jacket and lists a padded inner sleeve for the disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen cut the album at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs on May 26, 1965, with Creed Taylor producing. It is the only album he made for Verve, one break in a Blue Note tenure that ran more than two decades. Larry Young plays Hammond B-3 organ, Harold Vick tenor saxophone and flute, Ben Dixon drums, and Candido Camero congas and bongos. AllMusic's Michael Erlewine notes it was the last of the five albums Green recorded with Young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opener, \"The Selma March,\" is a Green original and a topical piece tied to the civil rights movement of 1965. The rest of the program comes from the band and the songbook: Ben Dixon wrote \"The Cantaloupe Woman,\" Robert Graham wrote \"Daddy Grapes,\" and the two standards are Ann Ronell's \"Willow Weep for Me\" and \"That Lucky Old Sun,\" by Haven Gillespie and Beasley Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Selma March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillow Weep For Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cantaloupe Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaddy Grapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957085441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.20.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48275343507614,"sku":"EVP-F70CF071-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/Grant-Green_His-Majesty-King-Funk_Acoustic-Sounds-Vinyl_s524707_o8250555_a655490_v13969246.88d3deaf.jpg?v=1791166950","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/grant-green-his-majesty-king-funk-acoustic-sounds-series-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
