Notes

There are 3 x different US stock label/vinyl variations and 1 x promo released with "Deseri" as the A Side and "Jelly Roll Gum Drop" as the B Side. (All released at the same time but from different US pressing plants.) This re-released promo with "Anyway The Wind Blows" as the A Side, was pressed at Bestway, New Jersey a few days later, with 'Ruben And The Jets..' spelled correctly.

Side B is a unique mono mix which is about 4 seconds longer and has much louder guitar and background vocals. 'Cruising' With Ruben & The Jets LP was only released in stereo in the US ( With assigned mono cat. numbers.) and the UK mono pressing was just a stereo fold-down - So Side B of this single has the only "real" Mono mix of a Ruben And The Jets track.

NB. The 1968 line-up of 'Ruben And The Jets' was another name for Frank Zappa's 'Mothers Of Invention' and an album was released using this alias in December 1968 called "Cruising With Ruben & The Jets."
