About this deal

Almost lost in this hodge-podge are a few absolute gems, probably topped by a live-in-the-radio-studio acoustic duet rendition of “Orange Claw Hammer” with Zappa on acoustic guitar. The sad punch line to this story is that John French did not even receive a performing (let alone composing) credit on the original Trout Mask Replica vinyl release (go ahead and check! The rights we have to claim against you for breach of these Terms of Sale may be used by us, our employees or agents, or the Seller, its employees or agents, as appropriate. Dachau Blues,” for example, from his 1969 masterpiece Trout Mask Replica sounds almost laughable in its clattering cacophony. I consider this period to be Beefheart's most underrated, as the incredible "Mirror Man Sessions" plainly proves.

Information about Beefheart was hard to find back in those days with only the public or College libraries being the only source for me to find anything about Beefheart/Magic Band. The whole CD comprises evidently the leftovers they could find in the trashbin of the studio where Trout Mask Replica was recorded. The Trout Mask instrumentals and the Odd Jobs and Evening Bell demos are big highlights of this collection for me and Korn Ring Finger (my favorite “out-take” from the Mirror Man/It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper sessions) was only available on CD on this collection before Buddha put it out as a bonus track on the 1999 CD re-issue of Safe As Milk.All 3 of these vinyl volumes were eventually rolled out on the combined labels of 'Xeric' and 'Table Of The Elements'. If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. But I'm not surprised he went off to pursue visual art (he met the La's in the early 80s doing it at a Liverpool art gallery!

I probably end up only listening to these instrumental tracks, rehearsals, field recordings and Trout House / studio chit-chats once every couple of years but it’s always an experience. We normally act as an agent only and will not have any responsibility for default by you or the Seller (unless we are the Seller of the Lot). The contract for the purchase of the Lot between you and the Seller will be formed when the hammer falls accepting the highest bid for the Lot at the auction. More than any other artist, Don Van Vliet – aka Captain Beefheart – defined Surrealism in rock ‘n’ roll. That live sample along with others from the same era is an example how CB utilized the current innovations.

The 80s Castle CD is mono but from what I have heard and read it is a fold down of the stereo mix plus there is some audible surface noise sounding like it was a needledrop. The Radar Station is a great site I visited quite often in the late 90s and occasionally thereafter. You may directly enforce any terms in the Terms of Consignment against a Seller to the extent that you suffer damages and/or loss as a result of the Seller’s breach of the Terms of Consignment. The rest of disc 4 is a set of video clips which are, again, mostly of passing interest to megafans- they're interesting in that they're the only footage we have of these lineups performing live, but the performances themselves aren't necessarily exceptional (and neither is the sound quality). The At His Best and Best Beefheart compilations are the botched 1970 remix with some differences/abnormalities.

The TMR house sessions predates postpunk by a decade, and warrants a repraisal of the original classic but discs 1-2 makes the case that "Safe As Milk" was the better album. I love Orange Claw Hammer on Trout Mask Replica, but this… so stripped down, so honest and so lovely makes my eyes. On the one hand there’s the beautiful packaging, incredible photographs, insightful notes from John French and interviews with many ex-Magic Band members.Alternatively, you will (at your own expense) pay for and personally collect or arrange your own courier to collect any Lots that you have purchased. I should dip myself into that coca-cola This box set is subject to the box set-curse more than any other I'm aware of. So since about 10 years ago I have found other SAM CD versions and configurations that I'm quite happy to have for a sort of collectors purpose but only collectable to me since many would find some of them of no merit or value.
