CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND HIS MAGIC BAND
The historically vital recordings preserved on this set - a live set captured from Avalon Ballroom in 1966 and a radio station set from 1967 - capture Beefheart and his musicians as they emerge from their blues-based beginnings and begin to evolve into something far stranger.
The set is accompanied by background notes and rare images.
Features two tracks not previously available on the CD version.
For a start there is just ONE disc and at just over 56 minutes in length it all fits on there easily enough, although the text on the back still refers to "this two-disc set".
Are there some previously unknown Beefheart performances?
Indeed there are. The first section is titled "The Avalon Ballroom, 1966". Most fans will probably be familiar with five of these tracks as they've appeared on the -"Grow Fins" box set as well as a number of bootlegs over the years. But added to this are FOUR new tracks "Down In The Bottom", Don't Start Me To Talkin'", "The Sun Is Shining'" and "St James Infirmary" that have never been released before.
So, what we have now appears to be the entire KSAN radio broadcast at long last.
This is the early Magic Band playing the BLUES and they do it damn well. Don's vocals on °St James Infirmary" are particularly worthy of mention. There's a small fade-in to ^"Down In The Bottom", but otherwise this is a great sounding set.
The second section of the disc is titled "Radio Station, 1967".
And this is where we enter typical bootleg territory, the tracks are not quite what they're said to be.
First up is another version of "Somebody In My Home". This is possibly from sometime in early 1967 but is more likely from a 1966 acetate rather than a radio broadcast. There is applause after it but is it live? There are sound problems but it's the best quality I've heard it.
The next four tracks "Sure Nuff" "Yes I Do" "Call On Me" "Yellow Brick Road" and "Plastic Factory" are the wonderfully raw pre Safe As Milk demos. These were all on "Grow Fins".
Again these would be from 1967 (although "Call On Me" is from 1965) but not from the radio, and not necessarily live.
Then comes "Sure Nuff", "Yes I Do", "Yellow Brick Road", and "Abba Zaba" which have been taken from a radio broadcast, BBC Top Gear in January 1968. The final track is "Kandy Korn" (badly cut off at the end to remove John Peel's voice) would be from the May 1968 Top Gear session.
We are also promised "background notes and rare images". If you're expecting information about the tracks on the CD and the Magic Band members involved you'll be disappointed.
There are reprints of two fairly common articles, one from KRLA Beat (June 1966) and the other is Tony Wilson's interview from Melody Maker (February 1968).
The rare photos are not that rare.
The cover is great though.
It's based on the cover of a 1968 (I think) copy of "World Countdown" with a fantastic photo by Guy Webster of the band posing next to a bunch of shop dummies. Another image from this photo shoot appeared in John French's book.
