DECEMBER 2ND 1968 - CRUISING WITH RUBEN AND THE JETS- 12" VINYL RECORD LP WITH THE HEAVY CARDBOARD GATEFOLD COVER - THIS IS THE YELLOW LABEL PROMO FOLKS WHICH MEANS IT'S ONE OF THE VERY FIRST ORIGINAL PRESSINGS OF THIS LP EVER MADE - ALSO BECAUSE AFTER MOST OF YOU LISTEN TO THIS RECORD YOU'LL PROBABLY BE IN NEED OF INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMB AND SET A JELLYROLL, AS WELL AS WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO DO THE BOP, COPIES OF BOTH INSTRUCTIONAL INSERTS ARE INCLUDED - VERVE RECORDS YELLOW LABEL PROMO - V6-5055X - OK LARRY?

SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THOSE INSERTS YEZ ARE PROBABLY SITTING THERE WONDERING WHILE SCRATCHING YOUR OVERSIZED RONDO HATTON STYLE OF BEMIS HEAD? WELL LARRY, I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK:

FIRST OF ALL THOSE INSERTS ARE COPIES OF THE 1984 VERSIONS THAT WERE INSERTED INTO THE CRUISING WITH RUBEN AND THE JETS LP IN THE OLD MASTERS BOX ONE SET.

SO WHY ARE THE ORIGINALS SO RARE? IT'S BECAUSE UNLIKE WHAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY WERE NEVER INCLUDED IN ANY STOCK COPIES OF THE LP. THEY WEREN'T EVEN INCLUDED IN THE YELLOW LABEL PROMO VERSIONS F THIS LP . THEY WERE ONLY INCLUDED IN THE WHITE LABEL VERVE PROMO COPIES THAT WERE SENT TO RECORD STORES FOR IN STORE PLAY. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ON THE OVER OF THIS VERY ALBUM THERE'S A DJ STICKER. THAT'S BECAUSE THE YELLOW LABEL VARIETIES OF THIS ALBUM WERE SENT TO RADIO STATIONS . SO FRANK AND MAYBE VERVE THOUGHT THAT DJS WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING HOW TO SET AND COMB THEIR JELLYROLLS OR DO THE BOP. HOWEVER, THE WHITE LABEL PROMOS WERE SENT TO RECORD STORES WHERE MAYBE THEY THOUGH SOMEBODY COULD APPRECIATE THOSE INSTRUCTIONS. IT JUST GOES BACK TO WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE'S BEHINDS FOR YEARS NOW, VERVE YELLOW LABELS TO RADIO STATIONS, WHITE LABELS TO RECORD STORES. BUT YEZ DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ME IF YEZ DON'T WANNA. OK LARRY?

SIDE 1 POOTS FORTH: CHEAP THRILLS - LOVE OF MY LIFE - HOW COULD I BE SUCH A FOOL - DESERI - I'M NOT SATISFIED - JELLY ROLL GUM DROP - ANYTHING.

SIDE 2 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.

A REALLY NICE HEAVY CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM' LIKE THAT THESE DAYS. HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, THEY DON'T MAKE VERY MANY ALBUM COVERS AT ALL ANYMORE. A LITTLE BIT OF RING WEAR ON THE BACK. A LITTLE BIT OF EDE WEAR. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO TAPE. IT'S 47 YEARS OLD AND HAS AGED VERY GRACEFULLY. HEY, SIMPLY PUT ON THOSE GLASSES AND LOOK AT THE PHOTOS YO'SELF.

A HEAVY VINYL PRESSING WITH BOTH SIDES PLAYING REALLY NICE, ONE OF THE BETTER SOUNDING AND LOOKING ORIGINAL 1968 STOCK OR PROMO COPIES I'VE SEEN. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD FROM BEGINNING TO END ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE GOING THRU A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP. I'M TALKING THE RECORD SURFACE AMPLIFIED TO DEATH AND STILL VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE. VISUALLY WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD 'ROUND N' 'ROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE THE RECORD NOW INCLUDES A COLLECTOR'S HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE, JUST LIKE SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTORS USE, AND JUST WHEN YOU WERE STARTING TO GET WET WITH EXCITEMENT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.

THE INSERTS ARE COPIES OF THE 1984 VERSIONS THAT CAME IN THE OLD MASTERS BOX ONE SET.

YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ITEM WHEN YOU PURCHASE IT. I'LL TELL YA' FOLKS, THOSE MISERABLE EXCUSES WERE GETTING KINDA' OLD SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: "WHILE REMOVING MY PANTS IN THE RESTROOM AT THE LOCAL BUS STATION, THE SENATOR ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED MY PANTS INTO THE TOILET AND MY WALLET GOT FLUSHED", "MY MISTRESS SAYS THAT I'M BECOMING MORE OF A FOUL OAF EVEN AFTER ALL OF THE PUNISHMENT SESSIONS, THERE-FORE, I'LL NEED THE EXTRA MONEY THAT I HAD BEEN PLANNING TO USE BUYING THIS ITEM AND WILL HAVE TO GIVE IT TO HER, SO THAT MY SESSIONS OF BENDING OVER WHILE REMOVING THOSE RUBBER PANTS THAT I'M FORCED TO WEAR AND GETTING MY ENORMOUS BUTTOCKS BEAT WITH A COPY OF ROLLING STONE CAN INCREASE", "MY WIFE FINALLY GOT TIRED OF STICKING MY BALLS IN A VICE EVERY TIME THAT I HAD PURCHASED ANOTHER MOTHERS OF INVENTION RECORD, SO SHE FINALLY LEFT AND TOOK MY BALLS WITH HER. NOW I'LL NEED THE MONEY TO GO BUY A SET OF NEW BALLS". EVEN IF SOME, IF NOT ALL OF THESE STUPID EXCUSES ARE TRUE.
