1968 - CRUISING WITH RUBEN & THE JETS - RARE ORIGINAL GERMAN 12" VINYL RECORD LP - THE FIRST THING THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN OTHER CRUISING WITH RUBEN & THE JETS ALBUMS MIGHT NOTICE, IS THAT NOT ONLY IS THE SONG "DESERI" MISSING ON THE RECORD, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT LISTED ON THE COVER, NO LYRICS TO DESERI PRINTED INSIDE OF THE ALBUM COVER, THAT'S BECAUSE THE SONG WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THIS GERMAN PRESSING. NOW FOR THOSE OF YEZ WHO MIGHT HAVE HEARD THE SONG BEFORE, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE LYRICS "WE CAN SHARE A LOVE DIVINE", AND YOU KNOW WHAT SHARING LOVE MEANS DON'T YOU? THAT'S RIGHT, SCREWING, AND SINCE THEY DON'T ALLOW THAT IN GERMANY, THEY GAVE DESERI THE SHAFT OR SCHAFT IN GERMAN IF YOU PREFER. YET EVEN WITHOUT DESERI, I BET THERE STILL MIGHT BE A FEW PEOPLE WHO, AFTER LISTENING TO THIS RECORD WILL WANT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THE BOP AND HOW TO COMB & SET A JELLYROLL. THAT'S WHY I, REV. A. WEST, FEELING NOW THAT FRANK IS GONE THAT IT'S MY DUTY TO INFORM YOU, WILL PROVIDE COPIES OF THE INSERTS WITH THE VERY INFORMATION YOU SEEK - THESE INSERTS HAD NEVER BEEN INCLUDED WITH THIS RARE GERMAN PRESSING, HELL, THEY WEREN'T INCLUDED WITH THE U.S.A. PRESSINGS EITHER. SO HERE ARE SOME COPIES OF THE ONES FROM THE 1985 OLD MASTERS ONE BOX SET - THE RECORD IS VERVE RECORDS 710 020 A/B - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AFTER YOU SCROLL PAST THE OBLIGATORY CRUD BELOW - OK LARRY?

RECENTLY, YET ANOTHER CONSUMER COINCIDENTALLY NAMED LARRY WITH AN INQUIRING MIND ASKED ME:

HEY REV, WADDA YEZ DOING SELLING ALL OF THAT ZAPPA ON EBAY? SHOULDN'T YEZ BE DOING SOMETHIN' ELSE LIKE SAVING SOULS OR SOMETHIN'? HUH?

WELL LARRY, YOU SEE UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE IN MY PROFESSION, I HAVEN'T MANAGED TO GET 20 MILLION DOLLARS IN MY HEAVENLY BANK ACCOUNT YET. IT SEEMS I JUST CAN'T FIND ENOUGH CHUMPS WHO WERE BORN AGAIN. SO I GOTTA SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME SOMEHOW. RIGHT LARRY?

SIDE A POOTS FORTH: CHEAP THRILLS - LOVE OF MY LIFE - HOW COULD I BE SUCH A FOOL - I'M NOT SATISFIED - JELLY ROLL GUMDROP - ANYTHING.

SIDE B OOZES OUT: LATER THAT NIGHT - YOU DIDN'T TRY TO CALL ME - FOUNTAIN OF LOVE - NO NO NO - ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS - STUFF UP THE CRACKS.

REAL NICE GLOSSY FRONT AND BACK FOLD-OUT ALBUM COVER. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF RING WEAR. SOME SCUFFING ON THE GLOSSY PARTS. NO SEAM SPLITS. A LITTLE EDGE WEAR BUT NOT MUCH EITHER. NO TAPE. NO WRITING. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAILS.

I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE, I'M TALKING ABOUT BOTH ENTIRE SIDES, NOT JUST A MINUTE OF THE FIRST SONG AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WHEN OTHER SCHMUCKS CLAIM THEY PLAY GRADE IT. IT PLAYS REAL QUIET, A LOT QUIETER THAN MANY OF THE OTHER RUBEN & THE JETS ORIGINAL ORIGINAL PRESSINGS I'VE HEARD, AND I'LL TELL YA', I'VE HEARD THAT ALBUM ENOUGH TO LAST HUNDREDS OF LIFETIMES. VISUALLY THERE'S A FEW SCUFFS YOU'LL NOTICE, NAMELY ONE ON SIDE A, THERE'S A FEW OTHERS BUT OVERALL THERE'S NOT THAT MANY IN TOTAL, AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE PLAY MUCH IF AT ALL. THERE'S SOME SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABEL YOU MIGHT NOT SEE IN THE PHOTOS, BUT THE LABELS DO LOOK NICE. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS. THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.

THE INSERTS ARE COPIES OF THE ONES IN THE OLD MASTER'S BOX ONE SET. OK LARRY?
