Joe Harley produced it, Kevin Gray mastered it at Cohearent Audio from the original analog master tapes, and Record Technology Inc. (RTI) pressed it on 180-gram vinyl. It is housed in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket; the label's photography of the open gatefold shows a full-page portrait of Patton at the organ, captioned at Rudy Van Gelder's studio on the session date, facing individual portraits of all four players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series grew out of Blue Note president Don Was's admiration for the audiophile Blue Note reissues produced by Music Matters. Was brought in Joe Harley, known as the \"Tone Poet,\" to choose and supervise reissues drawn from across the Blue Note family of labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded on April 29, 1966, at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with Alfred Lion producing. The quartet pairs Patton's Hammond B3 organ with Grant Green on guitar, Hugh Walker on drums and Richard Landrum on congas. Green had played on every one of Patton's Blue Note dates from the 1963 debut Along Came John through Let 'Em Roll, and this was the last Patton album with Green in the guitar chair. Blue Note's own notes call the record Patton's soul jazz manifesto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A holds two Patton-Green originals, \"The Yodel\" and \"Soul Woman.\" Side B turns to covers: \"Ain't That Peculiar,\" the Marvin Gaye hit written by Smokey Robinson with Pete Moore, Marv Tarplin and Ronald White; Sam Cooke's \"The Shake\"; and Duke Pearson's \"Amanda.\" Reviewing it for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four and a half stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatton was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 12, 1935, and took up the piano at the urging of his mother, a church pianist. He had moved to the organ by 1961 and made his first Blue Note record as a leader in 1963. Blue Note counts 11 albums' worth of material under his name between 1963 and 1970, and he returned to wider attention in the 1990s through his work with saxophonist and composer John Zorn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Yodel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoul Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't That Peculiar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmanda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602458892819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.3.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67438557462686,"sku":"EVP-7FD4EA3D-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/GotAGoodThingGoingLPTonePoet.png?v=1791150714","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/big-john-patton-got-a-good-thing-goin-blue-note-tone-poet-edition","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
