Review
by Richard S. Ginell
This mysterious album was supposed to be A&M/CTI's last release but it lay fallow until 1984 when it came out on A&M's Audio Master series along with a bunch of A&M/CTI reissues. Why was it shelved? A subjective guess is that it just isn't that good; it's as patchy and disjointed as The Other Side of Abbey Road is brilliantly unified. Even the title seems like an afterthought 15 years after the fact. No personnel or arrangers are listed, but some of the tracks sound like outtakes from Tell It Like It Is; the charts have the same sharp reeds/trumpet attack. The best cut by far is Benson's own Latin-flavored instrumental "Durham's Turn." "Out of the Blue" has a rare acoustic/electric guitar duet under Benson's romantic vocal, and the great guitarist always comes through with something worth hearing when asked. Still, as Yul Brynner puts it in The King and I, a puzzlement.

Reseña
por Richard S. Ginell
Se suponía que este misterioso álbum iba a ser el último lanzamiento de A&M/CTI, pero estuvo en barbecho hasta 1984, cuando salió en la serie Audio Master de A&M junto con un montón de reediciones de A&M/CTI. ¿Por qué se archivó? Una conjetura subjetiva es que simplemente no es tan bueno; es tan irregular e inconexo como The Other Side of Abbey Road es brillantemente unificado. Incluso el título parece una ocurrencia tardía 15 años después. No se menciona al personal ni a los arreglistas, pero algunos de los temas parecen retales de Tell It Like It Is; las listas tienen el mismo ataque afilado de cañas y trompetas. El mejor corte con diferencia es "Durham's Turn", instrumental de Benson con sabor latino. "Out of the Blue" tiene un raro dúo de guitarra acústica/eléctrica bajo la romántica voz de Benson, y el gran guitarrista siempre sale airoso con algo que merece la pena escuchar cuando se le pide. Sigue siendo, como dice Yul Brynner en "El rey y yo", una perplejidad.
