In between being one of the most recorded studio drummers of all time (the Purdie Shuffle graced everything from Aretha Franklin to Steely Dan), Bernard Purdie squeezed in a few sessions of his own.Purdie Good! was recorded early in 1971 by legendary engineer and audio obsessive Rudy Van Gelder at his bespoke studio, and it masterfully balances three Purdie-penned originals with three covers of hits-du-jour, utmost among them a blazing romp through James Brown’s Cold Sweat.This 180-gram reissue of Purdie Good! was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI, and comes packaged in a tip-on jacket.
