Frank Zappa - 1968-12-02 - Cruising With Ruben & The Jets

De propósito não coloquei nada aqui que fosse meu.
Comentários, críticas, opiniões ou histórias.

Neste disco o gênio já navegava entre a nascente "surf music", o "doo woop" ainda uma incógnita pra muitos que saem por aí falando besteiras, a soul music e a black music, sem esquecer o próprio rock'roll com as pitadas do que viria a ser a marca registrada dele: o humor, a crítica e uma sonoridade que ele brincando alcançava enquanto bandinhas ditas famosas à época não chegavam nem perto.

Não se esqueça, neste som viajamos para dentro da cabeça de um mestre nos idos de 68 e nessa viagem conheçemos um mundo visto pelos olhos de Zappa.

Vida longa aos loucos, gênios e quetais,vida longa aos lobos,rs!!!

Obs: este disco já foi derrubado umas 03 vezes no mínimo, e não entendo bem prq nos hosts; parece que qdo não é a mardita inquisição, o frouxo do hospedeiro faz por conta própria, prq em todas as vezes já passava dos 200 a 300 downs; ah sei lá!!!

Cruising With Ruben & The Jets is an album by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released in 1968 (see 1968 in music), and controversially reissued in an alternate mix with newly recorded bass and percussion in 1984.
The album is fashioned as a simultaneous parody of and tribute to the doo-wop music Frank and many of the Mothers grew up with and worked on. The album has been described as a collision of high and low art, with Stravinsky-style chord changes and unusual tempos applied to purposely trite and banal teenage pop love songs. The backing vocals at the end of "Fountain of Love", for instance, sing the opening melody from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

The album predated a mini-revival of 1950's rock music styles and touched off the Rock and roll revival movement. Soon after it came out the group Sha-Na-Na formed in New York City to play their own brand of 1950's style doo-wop. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley relaunched their careers not long after the album was released. Bo Diddley announced "I'm back and I'm feelin' fine" in his comeback single Bo Diddley 1969.
In 1973, a real doo-wop band, consisting of Ruben Guevara, Tony Duran, Robert "Frog" Camarena, Johhny Martinez, Robert "Buffalo" Roberts, Bill Wild, and Bob Zamora approached Zappa to ask him if they could use the name "Ruben and the Jets" for their band. Zappa not only approved of the name, he produced the band's first album, which was titled For Real!, a direct reference to the 1968 Mothers album with the "fake" Ruben & The Jets.In 1984, Zappa, unhappy with the sound quality of Cruising with Ruben & the Jets, enlisted Arthur Barrow and Chad Wackerman to re-record the original bass and drum parts (although they were not credited) for the Old Masters Box One re-issue of the album. In addition to the new drums and bass, Zappa added several vocal overdubs and heavily remixed the album, resulting in what has been described as "a whole new album" Like Zappa's remix of We're Only in It for the Money, which was prepared at around the same time, it is very controversial among fans. All post-1984 reissues of the album have featured the remix.The 1968 version of the album with the original bass and drum parts has not been officially rereleased on CD, although bootlegs have surfaced. A mono version of the album was released in England 1969 (Verve VLP. 9237) together with the original stereo, but since MGM at about that time decided to halt their distribution of Verve in the UK, very few copies found their way to the shops. This mono edition was a reduction of the stereo mix rather than a special mono mix.
In 2008, the Lagunitas Brewing Company put out a Stout named after the album, featuring the cover art on the label. This one in a series of beers planned to be released on the 40th anniversary of each of Zappa's studio albums.Track listing
