I picked this up at a used cd store this week and did not look too closely. When I got home I noticed it said "digital audio - cdr format" in small print on the tray card. Is that the only way this cd is available? I looked at the BLue Note website and couldn't find anything on this cd or anything about cdrs.

It was probably "manufactured on demand" - see the "CD-R note" on Amazon and click on "Learn more":

CD-Rs and DVD-Rs (the "R" stands for "recordable") look like the discs you're used to and offer the same audio and image quality. This recordable media is used to manufacture titles on demand, as fully authorized by the content provider.

Through manufacturing on demand, CreateSpace, part of the Amazon.com group of companies, enables Amazon.com to offer music and video content that might not otherwise be available. Each disc comes fully packaged, with artwork, in a standard jewel case for audio and an Amaray case for video, although for reissued products the artwork may differ from the original.

CreateSpace works with many of the leading music labels, television networks, film studios, and other distributors to make these titles available to Amazon.com customers. All products are manufactured from original source materials (e.g., for audio products, uncompressed CD-quality audio).

By eliminating inventory, waste, and inefficiencies in the distribution system, on-demand manufacturing provides the added benefit of helping preserve the environment.

When shopping, you'll see CD-R or DVD-R on the product detail page for such products. Amazon.com's standard return policy applies to these purchases.

Thanks JAW - I know what CDR is. My question is : is this cd available other than as a cdr?

Yes, it was reissued in the Rare Groove series years back, but don't recall which batch off hand.

You apparently misunderstood my response - I wasn't telling you what a CD-R is, I was merely pointing out that CD-Rs of certain albums are "manufactured on demand" by Amazon; I thought you were asking about that.

The album was reissued on CD in 1995 and that one is now OOP. It's available from Amazon Marketplace sellers, as you can see when you click on the link in my earlier post. It might be a good idea to ask a seller what they're selling before placing an order, the 1995 CD (Blue Note 31247) or the CD-R.

What bugs me more than CD v. CDR, is that there are still two unissued outtakes from this session - Witchita Lineman & By the Time I Get to Phoenix. But then there's still a whole unissued album length session from 1970 too... As well as other bits and pieces from various GG sessions.

Why? We already have the definitive Stevie Wonder version!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I managed to get an "official" copy at a reasonable price. I think the Penguin Guide, which I generally like, is a bit harsh in its review of this disc, yes there is an obvious tendency to go with the times here, maybe the material is not stellar, and maybe it is not strictly jazz, but I still like it.

The version of "I Don't Want Nobody To Get Me Nothing (Open The Door, I'll Get It Myself)" on this album is soooo funky. One of my favorite Grant Green jammies.
