Soul Stream Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Love this record, but mine's pretty scratched up...would love to have it on CD....does anybody know if Japan has gotten to this one yet? Thanks, Mike Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 I'd be surprised if it hadn't, but I don't know. I haven't got one MG Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Don't know if it's been on CD, but it would be a shame if it wasn't...but then it seems to be the opinion of some here that I'm overly fond of grease 9although this is only moderately greasey, by my standards, YMMV, yada yada, blah blah blah). Gotta love a guy named after a realy great sandwich... Quote
sidewinder Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 I'd be surprised if it hadn't, but I don't know. I haven't got one MG Yet again I kick myself for not picking up the nice Liberty vinyl of this in Mole Jazz years ago, when I had the chance. Doh ! Quote

danasgoodstuff Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Reuben, of course, doing "Hot pastrami", yeah! I gotta not post when I'm tired and hungry... Quote

MG For the curious non U.S. board members: "The Reuben sandwich is a sandwich made with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Russian or sometimes Thousand Island dressing, on grilled or toasted rye bread. Several variants exist." Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) I HAVE A FIRST PRESSING OF IT (LP) Edited November 14, 2009 by chewy Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 I HAVE A FIRST PRESSING OF IT (LP) Me too. And "Love bug". And "Blue mode". Those were really nice albums and terrific to see BN was getting on with finding new organists like Reuben and Dr Lonnie in the post Alfred Lion days. MG Quote
sidewinder Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 I HAVE A FIRST PRESSING OF IT (LP) "Blue mode". Never really warmed to it (have the 'rare groove' LP). Always thought that the best thing about it was the Mati Klarwein cover art. Maybe I'll give it another try. Quote

danasgoodstuff Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 I thought the cover was the worst thing about Blue Mode, which I like if not quite as much as On Broadway or Love Bug (shich also has a cheesey cover). Quote

MG Artist Bob Venoza was a friend/associate of Mati Klarwein. Venoza must have done the sleeve design using art by Mati. Quote

JohnS Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 I have this somehere. As it's not had an spin since I don't know when I think it deserves an airing. Quote
Soul Stream Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Posted November 20, 2009 This is actually a really cool album. I think Reuben gets overlooked. I know I didn't really get into his style as much until later on. He's definately got a unique way of phrasing and laying things down. Some of the stuff he plays on the long out vamp on Ronnie's Bonnie is mind blowing. Also, Groovy Situation is a stone cold motha foya... if you're into his style. He doesn't float like Lonnie, or dig in like Earland...kind of in between those guys. But definately super, super funky. His compositions are really cool too....Orange Peel, Bus Ride, ect... he had a knack for coming up with some nice twists on boogaloo. Quote
brownie Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Listened to this a while ago and found it to be a nice funk session. I have the original BN Liberty vinyl that I purchased at the time (in the '70s) when tons of BN albums were to be grabbed at the secondhand shops! Quote
Swinging Swede Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Not on CD, but it appeared on a blog fairly recently. There are also several unissued Reuben Wilson sessions on Blue Note during 1968-70. Quote
