Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

Buy! Buy! Buy!

Wasn't it 1975, thus 51 years? Doesn't matter, a bit of a fib works wonders for posting
ReplyDeleteThe "bit of fib" is theirs, you twerp. For marketing.

DeleteSometime in the 80's I bought an expensive US import of this album, I was a little disappointed, however now with this extended version maybe I can curate a suitable update, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanx mucho for the click! As much as I like Zappa, most of the Captain's stuff is not on the same plane, IMO.
ReplyDeletetanks a hunurt, my dude ...
ReplyDeleteTwo super talented fellas who manage the rare feat of being simultaneously underrated and overrated...Much like the rest of youse, I imagine they coulda given approximately zero flying fucks what I think. Fair enough. Goodnight Austin, Texas, wherever you are.
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy this at the time - it always seemed a dull album to me (the butt ugly cover had its effect), but I'll give it a whirl. The Zappa/Beefheart performing combo worked on Willie The Pimp, but that was in the context of one of the greatest albums of all time, which this ain't.
ReplyDeleteMy old extended/deluxe/whatever version has The Torture Never Stops (original version) as an extra track - it's not on this multi-disc set. I'm, like, WTAF?
ReplyDeleteIt's listed as disc 3, track 2...
DeleteJust finished listening to the first night's show & I'm way more impressed than I thought I'd be...Great soloing & Beefheart is not too annoying!
