Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Rather this is more of an “alternative history” that fills in gaps and yields insights and clarifications that might otherwise be missed.

This review looks at all the Beefheart discs issued in 1999 (Grow Fins, The Dust Blows Forward, Safe As Milk and The Mirror Man Sessions) and was taken from the 27th June 1999 Philidelphia Inquirer.Like Salvador Dali or Rene Magritte, his work was based on startling juxtapositions – a blues riff suddenly shifting into free jazz, three different rhythms playing against one other with vocals bellowing above. CB's varied assortment of musical sketches, demos, backing tracks, rehearsals, chatter, outtakes, and live/radio appearances have a singular cohesive model: primitive noise. If you’re the enthusiastic explorer in the old spirit, you’ll find plenty of adventure and condiment on this wild, wide, dangerous and tedious jungle continent. If this item contains incorrect or inappropriate information please contact us here to flag it for review. And, finally, all versions of "Safe as Milk" *except* for the Buddha reissue and the earlier Decal/Repertoire version are awful and are best avoided.

John French is busy on the bulk of the notes and I am attempting to wrap up the recordings end of things.

Zappa’s simple strumming fleshes out that this song follows the actual structure of a sea shanty (which could only be guessed at with the acapella version on Trout Mask Replica), but that's good, because now we have both: an avant-garde acapella version of a surrealistic sea shanty and a beautiful acoustic guitar version of that same sea shanty. It would be nice if Rhino rounded up the four Reprise albums and I'm Gonna Do What I Wanna Do: Live At My Father's Place and did a Beefheart Original Album Series. What we have here then is a box set which contains enough to make it essential for the fan – both from a historical (CD1 and CD5) and a musical (CD1 and CD5… and partly CD2 and even 3) perspective. For the track listing and other information about the vinyl sets, please head towards the Grow Fins on vinyl information page.

Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.More than any other artist, Don Van Vliet – aka Captain Beefheart – defined Surrealism in rock ‘n’ roll. Since we are still in the SAM discussion portion of this thread and this was my first and favorite Captain Beefheart CD I ever bought. Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. I've recently picked up several Beefheart CDs but I'm wondering if this version of Lick My Decals is legitimate or a bootleg.
