Nice story, but it's not quite true. Maybe the dj played the wrong side off an acetate disc but when the original local 45 came out on Volt (before the national release on Stax), Green Onions was already clearly marked as the A side. Perhaps it got switched before release, just like the big hit by Steam, Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.
