Title:
Safe As Milk
Label:

Format:
LP
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
BDS 5001HLP
Grey area exact repro of the first Captain Beefheart LP, originally released in the US on Buddah in 1967. 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing. "Beefheart's first proper studio album is a much more accessible, pop-inflected brand of blues-rock than the efforts that followed in the late '60s -- which isn't to say that it's exactly normal and straightforward. Featuring Ry Cooder on guitar, this is blues-rock gone slightly askew, with jagged, fractured rhythms, soulful, twisting vocals from Van Vliet, and more doo wop, soul, straight blues, and folk-rock influences than he would employ on his more avant-garde outings. 'Zig Zag Wanderer,' 'Call on Me,' and 'Yellow Brick Road' are some of his most enduring and riff-driven songs, although there's plenty of weirdness on tracks like 'Electricity' and 'Abba Zaba.'" --All Music Guide

Title:
Mirror Man
Label:
BUDDAH
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
BDS 5077LP
Exact repro. "Originally, Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band's second album was intended to be a double-album set called
It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper
. Although 1968's
Strictly Personal
has the same artwork that was mooted for the double album, it's a single disc. As part of the same post-
Trout Mask Replica
closet-cleaning that led to Buddah (the parent company of Blue Thumb Records, which released
Strictly Personal
) reissuing
Safe As Milk
as
Dropout Boogie
in the U.K. in 1970, the label released
Mirror Man
, the second disc that was intended for the
Plain Brown Wrapper
release. Recorded in November 1967 (an odd misprint on the sleeve claims it was recorded in 1965, when the band barely existed), the four lengthy tracks on
Mirror Man
are even more simplistic and primal than those on
Strictly Personal
. The key tracks are 'Tarotplane Blues,' a free-form jam in which Beefheart jumbles together the lyrics of at least half a dozen blues standards into a stream-of-consciousness ramble (adding musette and harmonica for good measure) as the Magic Band vamps on a slide guitar-based, two-chord groove for over 19 minutes, and the similarly expansive 'Mirror Man,' one of the key tracks of Beefheart's entire career." -- Stewart Mason, All Music Guide.
