Description
REUBEN AND THE JETS - DESERI / JELLY ROLL GUM DROP - WITHDRAWN 7" VINYL RECORD SINGLE - WITH THE MIS- SPELLING OF REUBEN [ IT SHOULD BE RUBEN ] - VERVE - VK-10632 BUT HAS THE FIRST HINT OF A BIZARRE MATRIX - BIZ-101-B THAT HAS A LINE GOING THRU IT ON THE B SIDE TRAIL OFF.
HERE'S THE STORY ABOUT THIS SINGLE; FIRST OF ALL WE ALL KNOW THAT RUBEN AND THE JETS BACK IN 1968 WERE REALLY FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION SO IN 1968 THE RUBIN AND THE JETS LP WAS RELEASED. ALSO IN 1968 FRANK ZAPPA HAD JUST ABOUT ALL THAT HE COULD TAKE FROM THE VERVE LABEL AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING HIS OWN BIZARRE RECORD LABEL WHICH IN ANOTHER YEAR ALONG WITH HIS STRAIGHT RECORD LABEL WOULD SIGN WITH WARNER BROS.,BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY. ANYWAY IN 1968 FRANK DECIDED HE WANTED TO RELEASE A SINGLE FROM HIS RUBEN AND THE JETS LP AND THEY EVENTUALLY DECIDED ON DESERI / JELLY ROLL GUM DROP. THIS SINGLE WITH THE "E" IN RUBEN IS THE FIRST PRESSING WHICH FRANK THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING OUT ON HIS OWN BIZARRE LABEL BUT VERVE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT SORT OF CRAP FROM FRANK WHO WAS STILL UNDER CONTRACT WITH MGM. THAT'S WHY THE " BIZ " MATRIX IS CROSSED OUT BUT WHEN MGM / VERVE IN THEIR HURRY PRESSED THIS SINGLE THEY QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT THE SPELLING OF REUBEN WAS WRONG AND WITHDREW THIS SINGLE WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT SPELLING VERSION AND NO BIZ MATRIX. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE WORD " WITHDREW " IS CORRECT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW OF THESE AROUND THAT THE ONES THAT SURVIVED MIGHT JUST HAVE SLIPPED OUT OF THE RECORD PLANT WITH SOME EMPLOYEES AND NONE OF THE ACTUAL REUBEN VERSIONS WERE EVER DISTRIBUTED. THE LAST TIME THAT I SAW ONE OF THESE FOR SALE WAS AROUND 2 YEARS AGO ON E-BAY AND WOUND UP SELLING FOR OVER $600. MY RESERVE IS MUCH LESS THAN THAT.
THE VINYL STILL LOOKS GLOSSY, VG+ FOR THE VINYL, JUST A TINY SURFACE MARK THAT CAN BE SEEN ON SIDE B WHILE HOLDING IT UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB. THE LABELS HAVE SOME WEAR AROUND THE INNER RING MORE NOTICIBLE ON SIDE B, YOU CAN STILL READ ALL OF THE PRINTING AND THE WEAR IS LIMITED TO BASICALLY ONLY PARTS OF THAT INNER RING BUT I'LL SAY VG- FOR THE LABELS.
PAYMENT BY PAYPAL OR MONEY ORDER IN US DOLLARS.

SORRY FOR THE BLURRY CLOSE UP PHOTO OF THE REUBEN TITLE, THAT'S HOW IT WOULD LOOK IF YOU DRINK RANCID BUDWEISER ALL DAY, I LIKE GERMAN EKU BUT I WAS ACTUALLY SOBER WHEN I TOOK THOSE PHOTOS.
