Stand By Me (Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get) is an album led by jazz drummer
Bernard Purdie which was recorded for the
Mega label in 1971 and released on their
Flying Dutchman Series.[1][2][3][4]
Victor W. Valdivia of
Allmusic writes, "Stand by Me is a frustrating album. Bernard "Pretty" Purdie was always an extraordinarily talented musician, but as a bandleader and songwriter, he was inconsistent at best... Stand by Me has some high points, but is not the place for newcomers to discover Purdie's talents".[5]
