Notes
First release on CD with bonus material of the original vinyl mix version of the album "Cruising with Ruben & the Jets" with the original bass and drum parts (initially issued in December 1968). [When "Cruising with…" was re-released on CD, it was heavily remixed and new bass and drums had been overdubbed on most songs without any acknowledgment of this in the CD booklet, which still credited the original musicians. The new drums were played by Chad Wackerman; the new electric bass by Arthur Barrow and upright acoustic bass by an unknown musician, possibly Jay Anderson].

Sorry FZ, but this is the definitive Ruben & The Jets LP. And it’s even better remastered with bonus doo-dads from the woods. Really wish they’d have used the original artwork on the outside though.
-
It wasn't too nice of the ZFT to put (Frank) Zappa as main artist on cover and spine, when the original had Mothers of Invention.
Anyways, an essential release, kinda like a well-kept secret. -
A must-own in any format for fans of the original LP. I have never met anyone who likes Zappa's remixes. I gather the title was changed to respect Zappa's insistence to his dying day that the remixes were definitive. These original versions sound great, and the alternate mixes and bonus material are worth it too.
