Re: Do you get Beefheart....?
If Shiny Beast [Bat Chain Puller] could get any better perhaps this is it?
Yes/No...?
How it should have been before the Zappa/Cohen altercation

'Deed it is. I'm surprised the Zappa clan haven't reissued it.

Why are the horn players on the Clear Spot album ‘unknown’...?
Surely somebody knows who they were/are

Re: Beefheart
I got lucky at the last Magic Band gig in Manchester. I got to talk to John French and there were a couple of copies of the album. I coughed up and got him to sign. A very approachable and engaging guy, he did a great job on vocals.
The album is, of course, wonderful.

It's a corker Les.
Not one of my top 5 favourites but certainly robust of the seminally nature.
I could listen to this track all day:

By the way, we missed Decals' 50th anniversary last month! (I always thought it was a 1971, album, so I looked it up...)

Bugger Chas - so we did mate!
My top 5 [order changes daily]
Trout Mask Replica
Lick My Decals Off, Baby
The Spotlight Kid
Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
Clear Spot
then
Ice Cream for Crow
Sometimes Ice Cream for Crow squeezes in at the expense of Clear Spot but "Big Eyed Beans from Venus" gets it back in pretty quickly!

Re: Beefheart - LIST YOUR TOP 5 ALBUMS
Yes, The Spotlight Kid is pretty far down the list for me, despite it being my "first Beefheart." I do love it, but there's something kind of frustrating about it. (I gather that the Captain and his band felt the same way.)

Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
Trout Mask Replica
Doc at the Radar Station
Ice Cream for Crow
Decals
Top 2 are way ahead of the others though.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: Beefheart - LIST YOUR TOP 5 ALBUMS
Is there no love for "Doc at the Radar Station"? I think it's his best attempt to produce a 'normal' album. Where Unconditionally Guaranteed' miserably failed this one did have some Commercial Potential. With Bat Chain Puller it's the only Beefheart album that still gets regular airtime home on the ranch.
There's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over

I'd have that at #6 - it's really great.
I'm surprised you hear it the way you do, though - I think of it as one of his thorniest!
